Bob Dylan - Where Are You Tonight? (Journey Through Dark Heat) [Journey Through Dark Heat] lyrics
There's a long distance train rolling through the rain, tears on the letter I write There's a woman I long to touch and I miss her so much but she's drifting like a satelite There's a neon light ablaze in the green smoky haze, and laughter down on Elizabeth Street And a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone where she bathed in a stream of pure heat Her father would emphasize you got to be more than street-wise but he practiced what he preached from the heart A full-blooded Cherokee, he predicted it to me the time and the place it would start. There's a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage And a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page Of a book that nobody write Oh, where are you tonight ? The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode In the last hour of need, we entirely agreed, sacrifice was the code of the road I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John, strong men betitled by doubt I couldn't tell her what my private thoughts were but she had some way of finding them out He took dead-center aim but he missed just the same, she was waiting putting flowers on the shelf She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair and discovered her invisible self. There's a lion in the road, there's a demon escaped There's a million dreams gone, there's a landscape being raped As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape I won't but then again, maybe I might Oh, if I could just find you tonight. I fought with ny twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way Horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees while the law looks the other way Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes, the man you were loving couldn't never get clean It felt outa place, my foot in his face, but he should-a stayed where his money was green I bit into the root of forbidden fruit with the juice running down my leg Then I dealt with your boss, who'd never known about loss and who always was too proud to beg There's a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room and a pathway that leads up to the stars If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, just remind me to show you the scars. There's a new day at dawn and I've finally arrived If I'm there in the morning, baby, you'll know I've survived I can't believe it, I can't believe I'm alive But without you it just doesn't seem right Oh, where are you tonight ? |
