Our conversation was short and sweet
Nearly knocked me off of my feet
And I'm back in the rain, oh
And you are on dryland, oh
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now.
Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence
He's singing his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird, oh-oh
Singin' just for you, oh-oh
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singin' through these tears.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, i'm learnin' it these days
Oh, I know where I can find you, oh-oh
In somebody's room, oh-oh
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh but what a shame if all we've shared can't last
I can change I swear, oh-oh
See what you can do, mm-mm
I can make it through
You can make it too.
A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream.
I'm going out of my mind, oh-oh
With a pain that stops and starts, mm-mm
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart.

Review:
This release contains
75 minutes of the commonly
circulating tapes from the
1978 Rundown
studio tour rehearsals in the best quality that has circulated to date.
The sessions were recorded directly from the soundboard on reel to
reel. This is a very low generation copy of the master tapes. Lots of
changed
lyrics and rare interpretations. As for the January material, there is
only a slight tape hiss (as would occur when playing a cassette). It is
slightly louder on the softer passages, but by no means does it intrude
on the recording. The transfer to digital was recorded hot, and leaves
the vocals and music high above the white noise level. Dylan's vocals,
as well as the harmony vocals are far above the music in the original
recordings, and cut like a knife. This could easily be released
officially with only some slight manipulation of the original tape,
and alone is worth the price of the disc. The package aesthetics and
images are wonderful. Highly recommended.
