Bob Dylan - Where Are You Tonight? Lyrics
Theres a long-distance train rolling through the rain, tears on the letter I write.Theres a woman I long to touch and I miss her so much but shes drifting like aSatellite. theres a neon light ablaze in this green smoky haze, laughter down onElizabeth streetAnd a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone where she bathed in a stream of pureHeat. her father would emphasize you got to be more than street-wise but he practicedWhat he preached from the heart.A full-blooded cherokee, he predicted to me the time and the place thatThe trouble would start.Theres a babe in the arms of a woman in a rageAnd a longtime golden-haired stripper onstageAnd she winds back the clock and she turns back the pageOf a book that no one can write.Oh, where are you tonight?The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.In that 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 belittled by doubt.I couldnt tell her what my private thoughts were but she had some way of findingThem out. he took dead-center aim but he missed just the same, she was waiting,PuttingFlowers on the shelf.She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair and discovered her invisible self.Theres a lion in the road, theres a demon escaped,Theres a million dreams gone, theres a landscape being raped,As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape,I wont, but then again, maybe I might.Oh, if I could just find you tonight.I fought with my 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 guy you were lovinCouldnt stay clean.It felt outa place, my foot in his face, but he should-a stayed where his money wasGreen.I bit into the root of forbidden fruit with the juice running down my leg.Then I dealt with your boss, whod never known about loss and who always wasToo proud to beg.Theres a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room and a pathway that leadsUp to the stars.If you dont believe theres a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you theScars.Theres a new day at dawn and Ive finally arrived.If Im there in the morning, baby, youll know Ive survived.I cant believe it, I cant believe Im alive,But without you it just doesnt seem right.Oh, where are you tonight?
