| The Sam Cook line is a reference to his song "Cupid" and I guess is meaning what everybody had previously said. All I could really make much sense of was: "Maybe I could be the one they adore That could be my reputation It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore I'm an educated virgin" which is a reference to his father and upbrining. He says maybe he could be the one people adored, like his fater and not just been known as Bob Dylan's son. He's says it's where he's from and his background that gives people the wrong idea about him- "It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore I'm an educated virgin" | |

| I've always felt that this song is about how he (or other stars) seemed to sleepwalk into their stardom. The music video sort of gave me that impression, though I haven't seen it in a while. And I doubt that any of this is about his upbringing or his father. He's denied that anything on this album is about that, and that he had a fairly normal childhood. | |

| Thanks for posting that DJacques. I never understood the Sam Cooke line. I think though, that the singer himself is the sleepwalker. And by calling himself a sleepwalker he means he's incapable of love. Dreaming is like reaching out with your feelings. But he feels sort of dead on the inside so instead of reaching out... it's like he's sleepwalking. "I'll never be your valentine The sleepwalker in me And God only knows that I tried." But then he thinks, 'Someday, I'll learn how to love.' "It's only a matter of time Util I learn to open up my eyes When I'm dead asleep dreamin'" | |

| I love this song, this song cemented my opinion of Jakob Dylan as an excellent song-writer. I have no idea what it means *lol*, but there are a few lines that really stick with me "Think I'm a whore, I'm an educated virgin. & I could be the one to be your next best friend You may need someone to hold you & But you never saw my best scene The one where I sleep Sleepwalk into your dreams & Now, sleepwalker, what's my line It's only a matter of time Until I learn to open up my eyes When I'm dead asleep dreamin' *awesome* | |
