BOB DYLAN - I'm Not There lyrics

rate me

Thing's all right and she's all too tight

In my neighborhood she cries both day and night

I know it because I was there

It's a milestone but she's down on her luck

And she's daily salooning about to make her hard earned buck

I was there

I believe where she'd stop him if she wants time to care

I believe that she'd look upon beside him to care

And I'd go by the Lord and when she's on my way

But I don't belong there

No, I don't belong to her, I don't belong to anybody

She's my Christ forsaken angel but she don't hear me cry

She's a lone hearted mystic and she can?t carry on

When I'm there she's alright but then she's not when I'm gone

Heaven knows that the answer, she's don't calling no one

She's the way, her sailing beauty for she's mine for the one

And I lost her hesitating by temptation lest it runs

But she don't holler me but I'm not there, I'm gone

Now I'll cry tonight like I cried the night before

And I'm released on the heights in but I'll dream about the door

It's alone, she's forsaken by her fate, worse to tell

"It don't have approximation", she smiled, "Fare thee well"

Now when I?ll teach that lady I was born to love her

But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her

And I run but I race but it's not too fast or slow

But I don?t perceive her, I'm not there, I'm gone

Well, it's all about confusion and I cry for her

Well, I don?t need anybody now beside me to tell

And it?s all affirmation I receive but it?s not

She?s adorned by the beauty but she don't like the spot and she won't

Yes, she's gone like the rainbow that shined yesterday

But now she's home beside me and I'd like her here to stay

She's a lone forsaken beauty and it's don't trust anyone

I wish I was beside her but I'm not there, I'm gone

Well, it's too hard to stay here and I don't want to leave

It?s so bad but amusing when she?s hard, too hard to leave

It?s a load, it?s a crime the way she haunt me around

But she told, ?Won?t you hate me?? but [Incomprehensible]

Yes, I believe that it?s rightful, oh, I believe it in my mind

I been told like I said when I before carry on the grind

And she?s on yet she told her like I said, ?Carry on?

I wish I was there to help her but I'm not there, I?m gone
