It's in my top 5, Kenny...I refer to it as "Joni's second symphony" 
(Judgement of the Moon & Stars being #1). I love EVERYTHING about it, the 
musical interludes & instrumental colors, the way she even uses *silence* as 
an instrument in itself is brilliant. And one of her finest lyrics, feeling 
the aftermath of the one-night encounter:

"In the morning there are lovers on the street,
They look so high.
You brush against a stranger and you both apologize"

Really, like the Hejira songs (and many others), you can just keep writing 
out the lyrics as they never stray from perfection. But that particular 
passage has always just kicked me in the gut.
