    Standing at the Door

    She looked into my soul through the clothes that I wore,
    She said, "We got a mutual friends standing at the door,
    "Yeah, you know he's got our best interests in mind."
    "Caribbean Wind - Alternate Version"

    The cat's in the well and the servant is at the door.
    The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war.
    "Cat's in the Well"

    The vagabond who's rapping at your door,
    Is standing in the clothes that you one wore,
    "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

    up

    Stars

    That the stars fell down and the field burns away,
    On Black Diamond Bay.
    "Black Diamond Bay"

    I've heard that hoot owl singing,
    As they were taking down the tents.
    The stars above the barren trees,
    Was his only audience.
    "Blind Willie McTell"

    In the lonely night,
    In the blinking stardust of a pale blue light,
    You're coming through to me in black and white,
    When we were made of dreams.
    "Born in Time"

    Was she a child or an angel? Did we go too far?
    Did we snap at the bait, Did we follow a star,
    Through a hole in the wall, where the long arm of the law cannot reach?
    "Caribbean Wind"

    Stars on my balcony, buzz in my head,
    Slayin' Bob Dylan in my bed,
    Street band playin' "Nearer My God To Thee"
    "Caribbean Wind - Warfield Version"

    Covenant woman, shining like a morning star,
    I know I can trust you to stay where you are.
    "Covenant Woman"

    May you build a ladder to the stars,
    And climb on every rung,
    And may you stay forever young,
    "Forever Young"

    Hazel, stardust in your eye,
    You're goin' somewhere and so am I.
    "Hazel"

    Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,
    I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,
    And all your ragin' glory.
    "Idiot Wind"

    Visions of your chestnut mare,
    Shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars.
    "Idiot Wind"

    up

    Stones

    Leave your stepping stone behind, something calls for you,
    Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you,
    "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"
