It's a song about Dave King's mom. He remembers as a boy sitting outside of his tenement watching girls walking home from a factory after their shift ended.

The song is about how he used to watch a laundry factory outside his home as the woman would get off work and enjoy their breaks by a fountain in the courtyard. It was written as a landmark of Davids memory of living in Ireland as a child
