I agree that the lyrics aren't the greatest, but it's such a pretty song 
that I'll forgive him.  Lovely guitar work, lovely echo.  What does that 
remind me of?  The Byrds?

There are a few of these odd little numbers around in The Who's catalog.  
They mostly express a sentiment, or a fleeting moment, and about all you can 
say is "yes, I've felt like that" or maybe "wow, I wish I could like that" 
and then go on with what you were doing.  They're just beautiful songs, 
though.  Art doesn't really have to be deep and interpreted.  Sometimes it's 
just a pretty picture.
