Bob Dylan - I and I lyrics
[Bob Dylan - I and I lyrics]
Been so long since a strange woman
Has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps
How free must be her dreams
In another lifetime she must
Have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote
Psalms beside moonlit streams
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I
One says to the other
No man sees my face and lives
Think I’ll go out and go for a walk
Not much happening here, nothing ever does
Besides, if she wakes up now
She’ll just want me to talk
I got nothing to say
Specially about whatever was
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I
One says to the other
No man sees my face and lives
Took an untrodden path once
Where the swift don’t win the race
It goes to the worthy
Who can divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me
To look into justice’s beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I
One says to the other
No man sees my face and lives
Outside of two men on a train
Platform there’s nobody in sight
They’re waiting for spring to come
Smoking down the track
The world could come to an end tonight
But that’s all right
She should still be there sleepin’
When I get back
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I
One says to the other
No man sees my face and lives
Noontime, and I’m still pushing
Myself along the road, the darkest part
Into the narrow lanes
I can’t stumble or stay put
Someone else is speaking with my mouth
But I’m listening only to my heart
I’ve made shoes for everyone, even you
While I still go barefoot
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I
One says to the other
No man sees my face and lives
Has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps
How free must be her dreams
In another lifetime she must
Have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote
Psalms beside moonlit streams
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I
One says to the other
No man sees my face and lives
Think I’ll go out and go for a walk
Not much happening here, nothing ever does
Besides, if she wakes up now
She’ll just want me to talk
I got nothing to say
Specially about whatever was
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I
One says to the other
No man sees my face and lives
Took an untrodden path once
Where the swift don’t win the race
It goes to the worthy
Who can divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me
To look into justice’s beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I
One says to the other
No man sees my face and lives
Outside of two men on a train
Platform there’s nobody in sight
They’re waiting for spring to come
Smoking down the track
The world could come to an end tonight
But that’s all right
She should still be there sleepin’
When I get back
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I

While I still go barefoot
I and I in creation where one’s nature
Neither honors nor forgives i and I

No man sees my face and lives
