Bob Dylan called this the best song ever written.
It's only two verses, three minutes and sixteen lines.
The writing is brilliant, and the orchestration with the flute and keyboard evoke a telegraph in the lines.
It gives me chills 50 years later.
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wire
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south
Won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

If you haven't checked it out yet then I'd recommend David Gilmour's new Luck and Strange album. Wow it's too good to listen to casually. I listened intently on a drive today and my ears were extremely pleased.
There's a rehearsal session of Between Two Points from this tour sung by his daughter Romany... Wow!
