The book Dylan's Visions of Sin has a pretty comprehensive discussion about the meaning behind this song, and the whole section that covers it is available on google books or whatever it's called. And now, I don't want to be bold and do it myself so don't waste your time and tell me to add it myself :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.163.125.33 ( talk) 17:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC) With your silhouette, when the sunlight dims, into your eyes, where the moonlight swims should i leave them by your gate, or sad-eyed lady should i wait? The farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide to show you where the dead angels are that they used to hide —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.222.227 ( talk) 12:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I know its a bit mundane, but does anyone have a source on where Bob Dylan was when he wrote "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands"? Rumor has it that he was in Omaha. True? Any help is appreciated. - Freechild 16:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
In the paragraph about cover versions of the song, it reads that Jon Anderson covered the song. The song was covered by Steve Howe (also of Yes) on his album Portraits of Bob Dylan, with Jon Anderson on vocals. The Friends and Relatives albums are compilations with songs pulled from Yes and Yes band members' solo albums. 72.70.10.27 ( talk) 03:23, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

The title of this song "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" seems to have Sara's current surname at the time (Dylan - the letters d, y, l, a, n in order, also there are more than two different ways of forming the word "Dylan" using letters that are in the correct order) as well as Lownds (Lowlands). The "Sad" of the beginning of the title also has the same first two letters as "Sara". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.239.143.130 ( talk) 07:12, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Old Crow Medicine Show covered this song on their latest album, 50 Years of Blonde on Blonde. I have tried to add this information to the "covers" portion of this article but, despite several modifications, the edit has been reverted by another editor. I am at a loss to understand why OCMS's cover does not merit mention alongside the others listed in the article. PurpleChez ( talk) 15:54, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Having worked on the article, I think that these are some potential areas to address before a GA nomination. Feel free to add other points or to comment. Pinging Mick gold.

Happy to see this at GAN. It's very neatly constructed and properly cited, and so I have little to say. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 14:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Cold eyelids that hide like a jewel
Hard eyes that grow soft for an hour;
The heavy white limbs, and the cruel
Red mouth like a venomous flower;
Algernon Swinburne, "Dolores" lines 1–4
That's about it from me, whatever you choose to do with the suggestions. Great article, keep 'em coming! Chiswick Chap ( talk) 14:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Well done everyone. It's a worthy GA and a typically tantalising Dylan job for an ambiguous and mesmerising song. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 15:15, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
I'm not planning to put this article through the formal peer review process before it's nominated as a Featured article candidate, but I thought it would be useful to have a space for discussion about anything to be addressed before the nomination is made. I'm pinging the prospective co-nominator Mick gold and our GA reviewer Chiswick Chap; please ping any other editor who might be interested.

If the song is in 6/8 time, I'm not sure that that can be characterised as a waltz. 6/8 consists essentially of 2 beats to the bar (two dotted crotchets): "1 & a, 2 & a" etc.
If the song is in waltz time, then it's time signature would have to be 3/4. Redpaul1 ( talk) 10:21, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Sad-eyed should be a compound adjective.
