The "indented" paragraph isn't sung in the promo version.
Series Of Dreams
I was thinkin' of a series of dreams
were nothin' comes up to the top
everything stays down where it's wounded
and comes to a permanent stop
wasn't thinking of anything specific
like in a dream were someone wakes up and screams
nothin' too very scientific
just thinking of a series of dreams
thinking of a series of dreams
where the time and the tempo drag
and there's no exit in any direction
except the one you can't see with your eyes
wasn't making any great connection
wasn't falling for any intricate scheme
nothing that would pass inspection
I was just thinking of a series of dreams
dreams where the umbrella is focused (folded?)
and into the path where I heard
and the cards are no good that you're holding
unless they're from another world...
In one the surface was frozen
in another I witnessed a crime
in one I was running and in another
all I seemed to be doing was crying
wasn't looking for any special assistance
nor going through any great extremes
I'd already gone the distance
just thinking of a series of dreams
dreams where the umbrella is focused (folded?)
and into the path where I heard
and the cards are no good that you're holding
unless they're from another world...
I'd already gone the distance
just thinkin' of a series of dreams
just thinkin' of a series of dreams
just thinkin' of a series of dreams

First off, I am now convinced that the line is:
all I seemed to be doing was climb'n
Second, I ran across another promo:
Bob Dylan 5 Tracks From The Bootleg Series SAMPCD 1476
Mama/ If You Gotta Go/ Tangled Up/ Foot of Pride/ Series of Dreams
and I wondered, long or short version of 'Series'? Well... different one!
The version on the Bootleg Series has a verse:
thinking of a series of dreams
where the time and the tempo drag
and there's no exit in any direction
except the one you can't see with your eyes
wasn't making any great connection
wasn't falling for any intricate scheme
On this CD, the verse goes:
thinking of a series of dreams
where the time and the tempo drag
suddenly the gate was thrown open <----
and you're left there holding the bag <----
wasn't making any great connection
wasn't falling for any intricate scheme
A small difference, I know, but I've got a lot of forks and knives, and
I've got to cut something...
