Taking inspiration from the memoir A Book of Dreams , [3] which Bush read and found deeply moving, [4] the song is about the very close relationship between psychiatrist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and his young son, Peter, told from the point of view of the mature Peter. It describes the boy's memories of his life with Reich on their family farm, called Orgonon , where the two spent time "cloudbusting", a rain-making process which involved using a machine designed and built by Reich — a machine called a cloudbuster — to point at the sky. The lyrics further describes the elder Reich's abrupt arrest and imprisonment, the pain of loss the young Peter felt, and his helplessness at being unable to protect his father.
