That song was originally written for Stevie by Bernie Taupin (Elton John's lyricist -- and one of the greatest writers in my opinion). According to Ann Wilson...

"She felt it wasn't right for her. You can tell what they were going for, with that as a Stevie song, especially lyrically. It's very mysterious and misty. It probably would have been "expected" if she'd done it. Although musically, it is nothing like anything Stevie's ever done."

I think Ann is spot on with those comments. However, if Stevie ever did a cover album, I hope it would be in another genere. Her outstanding performance of "At Last" shows she could excel with Etta James' covers and others of that ilk.
