Dark Eyes

The words

A man feels out of step with the violent, money-driven world around him, with only a woman's gaze to steady him.

The singer moves through a night world where people chase money, fight and forget each other, and he feels like a stranger to all of it. Instead of joining in or condemning it, he steps back, troubled and detached, and the one thing that holds him is the steady gaze of the dark eyes in the title. The tone is hushed and haunted. The closing track is just Dylan with acoustic guitar and harmonica, a stark contrast to the rest of the album.
