In another entry from the category of misheard lyrics, there are these lines from "Touch of Grey":
Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by number morning sky
Looks so phony
Until I had occasion to look them up a few minutes ago, I thought the second line was "paint my love a morning sky." Which is a beautiful line, actually, just not what Robert Hunter wrote!

so I guess in your version "these lines are all individuals" otherwise your lovely "paint my love a morning sky" followed by "looks so phoney" would have to be one of the greatest deflations ever! It HAS to be "paint by number sky" to look phoney...

You know, I thought exactly the same. "Paint my love a morning sky" sounded and still sounds to me even better than an original version of the song.
