<Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td> I got nothing, Ma, to live up to; There is no sense in trying; You feel to moan but unlike before / You discover that you'd just be one more / Person crying; So don't fear if you hear / A foreign sound to your ear / It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing . </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr> <P> The album closes with "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", described by Riley as "one of those saddened good - bye songs a lover sings when the separation happens long after the relationship is really over, when lovers know each other too well to bother hiding the truth from each other any longer...What shines through "Baby Blue" is a sadness that blots out past fondness, and a frustration at articulating that sadness at the expense of the leftover affection it springs from ." Heylin has a different interpretation, comparing it with "To Ramona" from Another Side of Bob Dylan: "(' Baby Blue' is) less conciliatory, the tone crueler, more demanding . If Paul Clayton is indeed the Baby Blue he had in mind, as has been suggested, Dylan was digging away at the very foundation of Clayton's self - esteem ." However, the lyric easily fits in with the main theme of the album, Dylan's rejection of political folk, taking the form of a good - bye to his former, protest - folk self, according to the Rough Guide to Bob Dylan . According to this reading, Dylan sings to himself to "Leave your stepping stones (his political repertoire) behind, something calls for you . Forget the dead you've left (folkies), they will not follow you...Strike another match, go start anew ." The only musician besides Dylan to play on the song is Bill Lee on bass guitar . </P> <P> The album's cover, photographed by Daniel Kramer with an edge - softened lens, features Sally Grossman (wife of Dylan's manager Albert Grossman) lounging in the background . There are also artifacts scattered around the room, including LPs by The Impressions (Keep on Pushing), Robert Johnson (King of the Delta Blues Singers), Ravi Shankar (India's Master Musician), Lotte Lenya (Sings Berlin Theatre Songs by Kurt Weill) and Eric Von Schmidt (The Folk Blues of Eric Von Schmidt). Dylan had "met" Schmidt "one day in the green pastures of Harvard University" and would later mimic his album cover pose (tipping his hat) for his own Nashville Skyline four years later . A further record, Françoise Hardy's EP J'suis D'accord was on the floor near Dylan's feet but can only be seen in other shots from the same photo session . </P> <P> Visible behind Grossman is the top of Dylan's head from the cover of Another Side of Bob Dylan; under her right arm is the magazine Time with President Lyndon B. Johnson as "Man of the Year" on the cover of the January 1, 1965 issue . There is a harmonica resting on a table with a fallout shelter (capacity 80) sign leaning against it . Above the fireplace on the mantle directly to the left of the painting is the Lord Buckley album The Best of Lord Buckley . Next to Lord Buckley is a copy of GNAOUA, a magazine devoted to exorcism and Beat Generation poetry edited by poet Ira Cohen, and a glass collage by Dylan called' The Clown' made for Bernard Paturel from colored glass Bernard was about to discard . </P>
