according to Dylan, this song was pieced together from one-line or two-line verses just scribbled randomly in a notebook he carries to jot down song ideas.
actually, much of the entire "Time Out of Mind" album was written the same way.
this song makes me thing of an old man on his deathbed who is recalling the events and feelings of his past life; telling what he's learned in his long years.
"it's not dark yet, but it's getting there". brilliant.
