Songwriter: Bob Dylan
[Verse 1]
Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet
And I'm out in the rain
Mmm, and you are on dry land
Mmm, you made it there somehow
You're a big girl now
[Verse 2]
Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence
He's singing his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
Oh, singing just for you
Mmm, and I hope that you can hear
Hear me singing through these tears
[Verse 3]
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last
I can change, I swear
Oh, see what you can do
Mmm, I can make it through
You can make it too
[Verse 4]
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, I'm learning it these days
Oh, I know where I can find you
Oh, in somebody's room
Mmm, it's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way
[Verse 5]
A change in the weather is known to be extreme
What's the sense of changing horses in midstream?
I'm going out of my mind
Oh, with a pain that stops and starts
Mmm, like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart
Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet
And I'm out in the rain
Mmm, and you are on dry land
Mmm, you made it there somehow
You're a big girl now
