"Lay Lady Lay"

Last month, I saw a reference to Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" and started wondering whether the features I'd previously noticed in the song were also present in the Byrds' version.  Twice recently, I listened to The Byrds Play Dylan, which contains the single version and the alternate version (which I'm more familiar with since it's a bonus track on Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde, which I've listened to more than The Byrds Play Dylan).

As in Dylan's version, there's something of a temporal merism in the lines "I long to see you in the morning light / I long to reach for you in the night," and the bass plays a repeating chromatic phrase (C B Bb A) under the title lines ("Lay, lady, lay / Lay across my big brass bed"), emphasizing the breadth of "lay[ing] across."  (Unless I'm mistaken, though, the songs are in different keys.)

I also noticed that the alliteration in the phrase "big brass bed" lends a sense of this size (the repetition gives an indication of degree).
