Dylan first tried it during the Time Out of Mind sessions, and Sheryl Crow released a version before his own appeared.
The words
A man who has stayed too long in one place looks back on lost chances and still offers his love.
Having lingered somewhere past his time, a man reviews the mistakes and missed chances of his life. He speaks to a woman, admitting what he has lost and how little he can change, yet he still offers her his love and refuses to call himself finished. The verses mix regret with a weathered dignity. Dylan first tried the song during the Time Out of Mind sessions, and Sheryl Crow released a version before his own appeared.
