Written with Jacques Levy, this short, breezy song sits in the middle of Desire and was also released as a single.
The words
A light invitation to a sunny faraway coast where couples dance and fall in love.
The singer paints the African country of the title as an idyllic seaside place, a travel postcard where lovers meet by the water. It moves in short, lilting verses with no real story, simply luring the listener there with the promise of romance. Its easy tone stands out on an album otherwise full of long dramas and confessions. Scarlet Rivera's violin and Emmylou Harris's harmony give it a bright, swaying lift.
Words by Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy
