Dylan first tried it during the Oh Mercy sessions.
The words
A man recalls a love that grew and faded in a single stretch of time.
A man looks back on a love affair as if through a haze of memory, recalling how it began and how it seemed to belong to its own particular moment. He speaks to the woman directly, tender but aware that what they shared has passed. The verses drift between closeness and distance, dream and recollection, and the mood is wistful rather than angry. Dylan first tried the song during the Oh Mercy sessions before it appeared on Under the Red Sky.
