    Putting aside "Lay Lady Lay," all of the Byrds' cover songs of Bob Dylan are stellar. They could all be compiled into an album and I'd make one killer set.

    Crimson flames tied through my ears
    Rollin' high and mighty traps
    Countless with fire on flaming roads
    Using ideas as my maps
    We'll meet on edges, soon, said I
    Proud 'neath heated brow
    Ah, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now
    Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
    Rip down all hate, I screamed
    Lies that life is black and white
    Spoke from my skull I dreamed
    Romantic facts of musketeers
    Foundationed deep, somehow
    Ah, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now
    In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
    At the mongrel dogs who teach
    Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
    In the instant that I preach
    Sisters fled by confusion boats
    Mutiny from stern to bow
    Ah, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now
    Ah, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now
    My guard stood hard when abstract threats
    Too noble to neglect
    Deceived me into thinking
    I had something to protect
    Good and bad, I define these terms
    Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
    Ah, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now

      thanks for the lyrics. at 78 it takes me a bit to visualize the interconnections of the verses without seeing them in writing, however, back in the day when these songs were released, it was instantaneous. never gets old listening to these diamonds.

    I was 12 in 1967. With my older sister, I listened to all the great music of the 60s. Today, so much music is garbage. The music of the 60s and early 70's still sounds great.

    • The day we walked away from the philosophical spiritual and intellectual wisdom of the 1960s, we ditched a vital wisdom that is so VITAL to the soul!!! 😞
    • This song ( like Bob Dylan’s version of Mr. Tambourine Man ) speaks in metaphors and verbal “imagery.” Life’s magical shadows.
    • The messages in these songs are even more pertinent to TODAY than yesterday!!!

Hanging on my wall since the 60s is a signed LP cover of Mr Tambourine Man by the entire group. I still listen to them 2 or 3 times a week! As good today
