Bob Dylan - Huck's tune Lyrics
Well I wandered alone through a desert of stoneAnd I dreamt of my future wifeMy sword's in my hand and I'm next in commandIn this vision of death called lifeMy plate and my cup, I rack straight upI took a rose from a hand of a childWhen I kiss your lips, the honey dripsI'm gonna have to put you down for awhileEvery day we meet on any old streetAnd you're in your girlish primeThe short and the tall are coming to the ballI'll go there all of the timeBehind every tree, there's something to seeThe river is wider than a mileI tried you twice, you can't be niceI'm gonna have to put you down for awhileHere comes the nurse with money in her purseHere comes the ladies and menYou push it all in and you've no chance to winYou play them all down to the endI'm laying in the sand getting a sunshine tanMoving along, riding in styleFrom my toes to my head, you knock me deadI'm gonna have to put you down for awhileI count the years and I shed no tearsI'm blinded to what might have beenNature's voice makes my heart rejoicePlay me the wild song of the windI've found hopeless love in the room aboveWhen the sun and the weather were mildYou were as fine as wine, I ain't handin' you no lineI'm gonna have to put you down for awhileAll the merry little elves can go hang themselvesMy faith is as cold as can beI stack high to the roof and I'm not without proofIf you don't believe me, come seeYou think I'm blue? I think so tooIn my words, you'll find no guileThe game's gotten old, the deck's gone coldI'm gonna have to put you down for awhileThe game's gotten old, the deck's gone coldI'm gonna have to put you down for awhile
