The fourth track on Rough and Rowdy Ways, a gentle, slow love song that stands apart from the darker, wordier pieces around it.
The words
An older man, having travelled and seen enough, decides calmly to commit himself completely to the one he loves.
A man who has lived a long, restless life speaks to the woman he loves and tells her he has finally settled his mind on giving himself to her. The song unfolds patiently, each verse returning to the same quiet resolution, as he looks back over his wandering and finds it led here. Its tone is tender and unhurried, with no irony at all. The arrangement is soft and lilting, close to a lullaby.
