She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back

She can take the dark out of the nighttime
And paint the daytime black

She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She's a hypnotist collector
You are a walking antique.



This song has one of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard.
Very subtile yet strong.
It's not certain about whom it is exactly but it's probably about Joan Baez (the fellow folk singer) and even though it's an anti-love song, it is really appealing. Maybe because it's an anti-love song. Bob Dylan always wanted to do the opposite from what was expected.

  1. Even though it is an anti-love song, I can't find the resentment it is almost as if he takes pity on Joan.
