Dyl
So this is where Dyl does Dylan in open D, it seems.
Mostly acoustic, slowed down and laid back version of Bobby's song (from "Blood On The Tracks" - 1974). Sweet/sour promises... This is probably the less break-up-acid-drama tune from this album, and I always loved it. All instruments (open D tuning on the main acoustic guitar), vocals, mix, mastering is Dyl-home-made. AI ? Nah. Nevah.

Lyrics
Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
You got all the love
Honey baby, I can stand

I've been meek
And hard like an oak
I've seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If you want me
Honey baby, I'll be here

I like your smile
And your fingertips
I like the way that you move your hips
I like the cool way you look at me
Everything about you is bringing me misery

Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain't no monkey but I know what I like
I like the way you love me strong and slow
I'm takin' you with me
Honey baby, when I go

Life is sad
Life is a bust
All ya can do is do what you must
You do what you must do and ya do it well
I'll do it for you
Honey baby, can't you tell?

Excellent arranging, mixing, and overall production. That guitar that plays at 0:52 -- is that your Tele? How did you get such a twangy sound?

Beautifully produced with delightful minimalism. 👏 Do you think BD was inspired by Tom Paxton on this one?

Very nice! I love the open D tuning very Dylan-ish. (Meant as a compliment, not a comparison)
