Bob Dylan Lyrics - Cold Irons Bound (Live Version) Lyrics lyrics

rate me

(First Release, Live version, December 16, 1997, El Ray Theatre, Los Angeles)

I'm beginnin' to hear voices and there's no one around

Well I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown

I went to church on Sunday, she passed by

Well my love for her has taken such a long time to die.

Well, I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist

It's almost like, almost like I don't exist.

I'm twenty miles out of town, Cold Irons bound.

Well, the walls of pride, well they're high and they're wide

Can't see over to the other side

It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay

But it's sadder still to feel your heart turn away.

One look at you and I'm out of control

Like the universe has swallowed me whole.

I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.

There's too many people, too many to recall

I thought some of 'em were friends of mine, I was wrong about 'em all

Well, the road is rocky and the hillside mud

Up over my head, nothing but clouds of blood.

I found my world, found my world in you

But your love just hasn't proved true.

I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound

Twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.

Well the winds in Chicago ah, they torn me to shreds

Reality has always had too many heads

I tried to love and protect you because I care

I'm gonna remember forever the joy we've shared

I'm looking at you and I'm on my bended knee

You've no idea what you did to me

I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound

Twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.
