Released as a single, it reached the US top ten in 1969.
The words
A soft, crooned plea for a lover to stay the night.
A man asks a woman to stay with him through the night, coaxing her gently rather than demanding. The song is tender and sensual, a slow seduction in which he tells her there is no reason to leave and that he wants her near until morning. Its verses circle back to the same plea, building patience instead of urgency. Dylan sings in a soft, low croon over pedal steel guitar and an unusual, clip-clopping percussion part.
