I think this song might be Dylan's plea at a reconciliation with Sara Lowndes. If you think in terms of the phases of a deteriorating relationship, the ordering of the tracks on Blood on the Tracks follows something like this.
Track four, Idiot Wind: really bad fight between Bob & Sarah that destroyed their marriage.
Track five, You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome...: She threatens leaving and inevitably does...
It leads to the synopsis on top...Dylan was an artist whose talent knew no earthly bounds. I love this song, I love this album, I love Bob's musicianship. It's the most classic of all his material.
