Decided to upload this old gem since I can't find it on YouTube. This song can be found on the second disc of the rerelease of Fisherman's Blues.

Lyrics (written by ear since Mike Scott adds his own touch to this Bob Dylan classic):
There's nothing down here I believe in
Except you, you
There's nothing down here that's even sacred
Except you, yeah you

You're the one that reaches me
The one that I admire
Every time I think of you
I feel like I'm on fire
Nothing matters to me
And there's nothing I desire
Except you, yeah you

There's nothing down here I care to cry for
Except you, you
There's nothing down here to live or die for
Except you, yeah you

There's a hymn I used to hear
In the churches all the time
Made me feel so good inside
So peaceful and sublime
And there's nothing here to remind me of that
Old familiar chime
Except you, yeah you

I used to run down in the cemetery
Laugh, sing and play when I was a child
And it never seemed strange
Now I just pass mournfully
The places where the roses of life are piled
And something has changed
I'm a stranger here, no one sees me
Except you, you

Nothing anywhere seems to please me
Except you, yeah you
Nothing hypnotizes me
Or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me
Like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention
Else they got something to sell
Except you, yeah you

Oh I'm just in love with you!

Very nice and jaunty. I put this version and Dylan's studio version and a live version from 1974 in my "Bootleg Series" playlist. Thanks for the upload!

I can really relate to this song. We have just had the septic tank emptied.
