  Haunting lyrics and instrumental with underlying heart wrenching yearning.
  

  The drummer for Traffic, Jim Capaldi, wrote the lyrics while Winwood and Chris Wood wrote the music. It was composed in an ancient farm cottage far removed from civilization which was described by the bandmates as eerie. It was recorded the following day in London.
  

  
  

  "In the book that comes with Chris Wood's box set Evening Blue, Windwood wrote, "We all felt there was some mystery in the landscape and we wanted to see if we could get the same mystery into Traffic's music and somehow be influenced by that mystery. We didn't really know how, but we were influenced by that mystery."
  
  Not all the mysterious forces in the Cottage were benevolent, though, and not everyone remembered them fondly. When the band dissolved a couple years after Mr. Fantasy, Capaldi said, "There was something evil in that cottage." He blamed it, in part, for the breaking up of the band."
