Bob Dylan - Temporary Like Achilles lyrics
[Bob Dylan - Temporary Like Achilles lyrics]
Standing on your window, honey
Yes, I’ve been here before
Feeling so harmless
I’m looking at your second door
How come you don’t send me no regards?
You know I want your lovin'
Honey, why are you so hard?
Kneeling ’neath your ceiling
Yes, I guess I’ll be here for a while
I’m trying to read your poetry, but
I’m helpless, like a rich man’s child
How come you send someone out
To have me barred?
You know I want your lovin’
Honey, why you so hard?
Like a poor fool in his prime
Yes, I know you can hear me walk
But is your heart made out of stone
Or is it lime? Or is it just solid rock?
Well, I lean into your hallway
Lean against your velvet door
I watch upon your scorpion
Who crawls across your circus floor
Just what do you think you have to guard?
You know I want your lovin’
Honey, but you’re so hard
Achilles is in your alleyway
He don’t want me here, he does brag
He’s pointing to the sky
And he’s hungry, like a man in drag
How come you get someone like
Him to be your guard?
You know I want your lovin'
Honey, but you’re so hard
Yes, I’ve been here before
Feeling so harmless
I’m looking at your second door
How come you don’t send me no regards?
You know I want your lovin'
Honey, why are you so hard?
Kneeling ’neath your ceiling
Yes, I guess I’ll be here for a while
I’m trying to read your poetry, but
I’m helpless, like a rich man’s child
How come you send someone out
To have me barred?
You know I want your lovin’
Honey, why you so hard?
Like a poor fool in his prime
Yes, I know you can hear me walk
But is your heart made out of stone
Or is it lime? Or is it just solid rock?
Well, I lean into your hallway
Lean against your velvet door
I watch upon your scorpion
Who crawls across your circus floor
Just what do you think you have to guard?
You know I want your lovin’
Honey, but you’re so hard
Achilles is in your alleyway
He don’t want me here, he does brag
He’s pointing to the sky
And he’s hungry, like a man in drag
How come you get someone like
Him to be your guard?
You know I want your lovin'
Honey, but you’re so hard
