Bob Dylan Lyrics - Bye And Bye Lyrics lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Bob Dylan

By and by, I'm breathin' a lover's sigh

While I'm sittin' on my watch so I can be on time

I'm singin' love's praises with sugar coated rhyme

By and by, on you I'm castin' my eye

I'm paintin' the town, swingin' my partner around

Well I know who I can depend on, I know who to trust

I'm watchin' the road, I'm studyin' the dust

I'm paintin' the town, makin' my last go-round

Well I'm scufflin' and I'm shufflin' and I'm walkin' on briars

I'm not even aquainted with my own desires

I'm rollin' slow, I'm doin' all I know

I'm tellin' myself I've found true happiness

That I still got a dream that hasn't been repossessed

I'm rollin' slow goin' where the wild roses grow

Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past

You were my first love and you will be my last

Papa gone mad, Mama she's feelin' sad

Well, I'm gonna baptize you in fire so you can sin no more

I wanna establish my rule through civil war

Gonna make you see just how loyal and true a man can be
