Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands Lyrics

Cover art for Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands lyrics by Bob Dylan

“Warehouse eyes” might mean that he can “take it all in,” that he has a place for Sara in his soul (eyes are the window to the soul). Others only see a small portion of her personality, while he sees that there is a great more to her, and that to be her lover, a man would have to acknowledge and make room for all of her. Additionally, it could mean that he feels empty inside.
“Arabian Drums” could be a reference to his music: should he continue on with his career or set it aside to wait for her?
