Song title: Bob Dylan - Highlands

Edit By: 216.73.217.24

Well my hearts in the highlands, gentle and fair
Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air
Bluebells blazing where the aberdeen waters flow
Well my hearts in the highlands
Im gonna go there when I feel good enough to go

Windows were shaking all night in my dreams
Everything was exactly the way that it seems
Woke up this mornin and I looked at the same old page/pain/paint?
Same old rat race, life in the same old cage

I dont want nothin from anyone, aint that much to take
Wouldnt know the difference between a real blonde and a fake
Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery
I wish someoned come and push back the clock for me

Well my hearts in the highlands wherever I roam
Thats where Ill be when I get called home
The wind it whispers to the buckeye trees of rhyme
Well my hearts in the highlands
I can only get there one step at a time

Im listening to neil young, I gotta turn up the sound
Someones always yellin turn it down
Feel like Im driftin, driftin from scene to scene
Im wonderin what in the devil could it all possibly mean

Insanity is smashin up against my soul
You could say I was on anything but a roll
If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top
What would I do with it anyway, maybe take it to the pawn shop

My hearts in the highlands at the break of dawn
By the beautiful lake of the black swan
Big white clouds like chariots that swing down low
Well my hearts in the highlands only place left to go

Im in boston town in some restaurant
I got no idea what I want
Or maybe I do but Im just really not sure
Waitress comes over, nobody in the place but me and her

Well it must be a holiday, theres nobody around
She studies me closely as I sit down
She got a pretty face and long white shiny legs
I said tell me what I want
She say you probably want hard boiled eggs

I said thats right, bring me some
She says we aint got any, you picked the wrong time to come
Then she says i know youre an artist, draw a picture of me
I said i would if I could but
I dont do sketches from memory

Well shes? ? near she says Im right here in front of you or havent you looked
I say all right I know but I dont have my drawin book
She gives me a napkin, she say you can do it on that
I say yes I could but I dont know where my pencil is at

She pulls one out from behind her ear
She says alright now go ahead draw me Im stayin right here
I make a few lines and I show it for her to see
Well she takes the napkin and throws it back and says
that dont look a thing like me

I said oh kind miss, it most certainly does
She say you must be joking, I said i wish I was
She says you dont read women authors do ya?
At least thats what I think I hear her say
Well I say how would you know, and what would it matter anyway

Well she says ya just dont seem like ya do, I said youre way wrong
She says which ones have you read then? , I say read erica jong
She goes away for a minute, and I slide out, out of my chair
I step outside back to the busy street, but nobodys goin anywhere

Well my hearts in the highlands with the horses and hounds
Way up in the border country far from the towns
With the twang of the arrow and the snap of the bow
My hearts in the highlands, cant see any other way to go

Every day is the same thing, out the door
Feel further away than ever before
Some things in life it just gets too late to learn
Well Im lost somewhere, I must have made a few bad turns

I see people in the park, forgettin their troubles and woes
Theyre drinkin and dancin, wearin bright colored clothes
All the young men with the young women lookin so good
Well Id trade places with any of em, in a minute if I could

Im crossin the street to get away from a mangy dog
Talkin to myself in a monologue
I think what I need might be a full length leather coat
Somebody just asked me if Im registered to vote

The sun is beginnin to shine on me
But its not like the sun that used to be
The partys over and theres less and less to say
I got new eyes, everything looks far away

Well my hearts in the highlands at the break of day
Over the hills and far away
Theres a way to get there, and Ill figure it out somehow
Well Im already there in my mind and thats good enough for now
