"In a Misty Glade" is one of two Trey and Tom songs sung by Jon that appear to form a demented couplet. Originally recorded during the Bearsville sessions in March 1998, this odd couple didn't feel the warm glow of an official Phish release until Party Time was unleashed as part of the Joy box set in 2009. Unlike its counterpart ("Shrine"), "In a Misty Glade" is a sparse and ominously psychedelic derangement that feels like it is careening through the mind of a serial killer taking refuge in a coastal forest as he plans the hunt for his next college coed victim shortly after he has buried the last. "In a Misty Glade" has not been performed live to date. If and when it debuts, it would truly be a "Crime of the Mind" if it were not paired with its hapless Makisupan pursuer.

While lying in a misty glade
The stars above begin to fade
Before approaching dawn
I watch the tide begin to swell
And wash across the quay

Across the sky an image flies
If it were not for my disguise
You'd understand the view
Just yesterday I thought of you
While I was watching in queue

Recalling how your eyes would glow
A thing of beauty it would seem
Those eyes are gone
I am alone
