You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last. But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast. Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, Crying like a fire in the sun. Look out the saints are comin' through And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence. The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. This sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. All your reindeer armies, are all going home. The lover who just walked out your door Has taken all his blankets from the floor. The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you. Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Donovon had some really great moments, Catch the Wind being one. Similarly, Bob is not the messiah most want to pretend he is. But for pity's sake, Bob owns Donovon through and through.

i'll offer up "tangled up in blue" and "knockin' on heaven's door" to fulfill that challenge presented, fully acknowledging the entirely subjective judgement of the aforementioned songs.
i got the Donovan greatest hits for Christmas and i really like..and yes, Catch the Wind is classic....i have yet to listen to Dylan much, but i think i'd like donovan better overall because of the voices of each

On the Dylan dvd "Don't Look Back" a young Bob invites a young Donovan to his hotel room to hang and play some songs. They each trade the guitar for a few. Dylan does own Donovan, you can see the complete awe in his face.
Dylan rules. That dvd is pretty good too btw.
