One of the songs Dylan wrote in 1970 for Archibald MacLeish's play Scratch, it became the third track on New Morning.
The words
A reflection on quiet country days, where time seems to stand still and the singer is content to stay put.
The singer looks at a slow, settled life in the hills, where days drift by and nothing much needs to happen. He pictures himself at home with someone he loves, far from the pressures of the wider world, and seems torn between contentment and a faint unease. The song moves at an unhurried pace, built around Dylan's own piano. It catches the domestic, rural mood that runs through New Morning.
