I figured only those with no smidgeon whatsoever of good ear or taste could lack passion for this. When I bought about '77, I recall noting w/ satisfaction the track list included On The Border, too, but title track alone was worth it. Ultimately, the other glorious tracks were mainly gems soo over my head that I unfortunately put the album away for...a couple generations! Realize now: typical 20 something these days "worries" never about appreciating such brilliantly erudite songs...
When a new world of music opened up to me and I was learning about reggae, punk and jazz Al Stewart released this song in 1977… still one of my favorites.

Absolutely wonderful. One of the greatest albums of all times, a true classic. Only great songs, each and every one of them. A masterpiece.

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain. One of the best lyrics of all time IMO.
