The only song on Together Through Life that Dylan wrote without Robert Hunter, it has a Tex-Mex lilt with accordion and violin.
The words
A lonely man clings to a dream of the woman he loves, the one thing keeping him going.
The singer is alone, uncertain and tired of the world, and what holds him up is a vision of someone he loves, whether real or only remembered. He fears what will happen if the dream fades. The song sways gently like a border waltz, with accordion and fiddle carrying a sweet, melancholy tune, and Dylan sings it with weary tenderness.
