But another possibility comes to mind. Perhaps this is art imitating life. After all, the song is about a relationship that seems to have come to an abrupt end before Dylan was ready. Perhaps the frustration we feel at the sudden end of this track mirrors some of the feeling Dylan was trying to exorcise with the song. We long for the song to continue, but it is not to be.
Life is sometimes like that.
Of course this is pure speculation, and as usual, Dylan isn't saying, other than through his art. People can learn everything about me through my songs, if they know where to look.
