Written with Robert Hunter, it is a slow, minor-key ballad and one of the darkest songs on Together Through Life.
The words
A man speaks to his own heart, which has let go of a love he still cannot forget.
The singer addresses his heart directly, as if it were a companion that has drifted off and lost the memory of a past love. He is left behind, lonely and sleepless, while the love fades into the past. The song is brooding and spare, built on a slow, haunting groove with mournful accordion and violin, and Dylan sings it in a low, ghostly voice.
