"Sign on the Window," bridge
New York, NY (Columbia Studio B) — May 1, 1970
The bridge includes an arresting key change from G-flat to D major. This is a quintessentially pianistic move, much more daring than any key change in Dylan's guitar songs. It also provides a nice sonic analog for the line "Her and her boyfriend done changed their tune," which Dylan has just sung in verse two. (Thanks to Timothy Hampton for the latter observation.)
