Powerful lyrics. Gotta say I like the Byrds version of it better and the Springsteen live version even more than that.

@Moses19 Agree! I've always interpreted it from the optimism of two lovers sheltering from a storm, but it really being about people's inability to see our freedoms 'flashing' out of existence. That each one disappears rhythmically that we don't see when it happens. We're spellbound by our own little bubbles that we lack the observance of continuous loss of freedoms and our good, and don't act soon enough to stop what we know should be stopped. Amazing lyrics.
