A slow twelve-bar blues that opens the second side of Blood on the Tracks, kept from the New York sessions of September 1974.
The words
A weary man asks a woman to meet him at dawn so they can leave together, though he senses she may not come.
A man calls out to a woman, asking her to meet him in the morning so the two of them can get away. He has been waiting and struggling for a long time, and his images of cold nights and dawn carry more doubt than hope. It is the plainest song on the album, a straight blues sung in a tired, patient voice. Electric guitar answers each line, giving it a smoky, late-night feel.
