[Verse 1]
Spirit on the water
Darkness on the face of the deep
I keep thinking about you baby
I can't hardly sleep

[Verse 2]
I'm traveling by land
Traveling through the dawn of day
You're always on my mind
I can't stay away

[Verse 3]
I'd forgotten about you
Then you turned up again
I always knew
That we were meant to be more than friends

[Verse 4]
When you are near
It's just as plain as it can be
I'm wild about you, gal
You ought to be a fool about me

[Verse 5]
Can't explain
The sources of this hidden pain
You burned your way into my heart
You got the key to my brain

[Verse 6]
I've been trampling through mud
Praying to the powers above
I'm sweating blood
You got a face that begs for love

[Verse 7]
Life without you
Doesn't mean a thing to me
If I can't have you
I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea

[Verse 8]
Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't treat me right
You do good all day
Then you do wrong all night

[Verse 9]
When you're with me
I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say
What does it matter
What price I pay

[Verse 10]
They brag about your sugar
Brag about it all over town
Put some sugar in my bowl
I feel like laying down

[Verse 11]
I'm pale as a ghost
Holding a blossom on a stem
You ever seen a ghost? No
But you have heard of them

[Verse 12]
I see you there
I'm blinded by the colors I see
I take good care
Of what belongs to me

[Verse 13]
I hear your name
Ringing up and down the line
I'm saying it plain
These ties are strong enough to bind

[Verse 14]
Your sweet voice
Calls out from some old familiar shrine
I got no choice
Can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind

[Verse 15]
I could live forever
With you perfectly
You don't ever
Have to make a fuss over me

[Verse 16]
From East to West
Ever since the world began
I only mean it for the best
I want to be with you any way I can

[Verse 17]
I been in a brawl
Now I'm feeling the wall
I'm going away baby
I won't be back ‘till fall

[Verse 18]
High on the hill
You can carry all my thoughts with you
You've numbed my will
This love could tear me in two

[Verse 19]
I wanna be with you in paradise
And it seems so unfair
I can't go to paradise no more
I killed a man back there

[Verse 20]
You think I'm over the hill
You think I'm past my prime
Let me see what you got
We can have a whoppin' good time

Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman May 24, 1941), is an American singer-songwriter, writer, and artist who has influenced popular music and culture for more than five decades. Dylan has especially played a critical role in the American folk music revival.

Dylan’s songs are built from myriad political, social, philosophical and literary influences. Many of his anti-war and civil-rights-influenced songs set social unrest, as journalists widely named him the “spokesman for his generation” in the 1960s.

The musician has a signature change in voice and style in many different albums of his throughout the decades. He has notably explored and experimented with the genres of folk, rap, blues, and rock.
