Bob Dylan

I'm standing in the shadows
With an aching heart
I'm looking at the world
Tear itself apart
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
I'm still loving you in a million ways

Well, the devil's in the alley
There's a new kicking in my stall
Say anything you wanna
I've heard it all
I was raised in the country
I've been working in town
I've been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down

Well, I ain't got nothin for ya
I had nothing before
Don't even have anything for myself anymore
The sky's full of fire
Hate is pouring down
There's nothing you can sell me
I'll see you around

Well I got hеre following
The Southern Star
I crossеd that river
Just to be where you are
There's only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Well, I've been loving you too long
I know you ain't no good
Don't make a bit of difference to me
Don't see why it should
I was thinking 'bout the things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed

Well, I'm walking through the leaves
Falling from the trees
Feel like a stranger nobody sees
So many things we never will undo
I know you're sorry
I'm sorry, too

Some people will offer you their hand
And some won't
Last night I knew you
Tonight I don't
I need something strong
To distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you
'Til my eyes go blind

Well, everybody's moving
God knows where
But I'm still here
You're still there
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Well, my ship's been split to splinters
And it's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison
Got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary
It's light and it's free
I got nothing but affection for those who have
Sailed with me

Winter goes into summer
Summer goes into fall
I look into the mirror
Don't see anything at all
Stick with me, baby
Stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get interesting
Right about now

My clothes are wet
Tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner
That I've painted my self in
I know good fortune is waiting to be kind
So give me your hand and
Say you'll be mine

The emptiness is endless
Cold as the clay
You can always come back but you can't come back all the way
Only one thing that I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

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.
