Grace Petrie - Why Bob Dylan Sang lyrics
[Grace Petrie - Why Bob Dylan Sang lyrics]
Well once I met a girl who
Had my measure from the start
She tied me up in knots and then she
Tore me clean apart
And I laid with her for years and years
But I never knew her heart for all I tried
And the life we had was fiction
But it was a lie she told me well
Advertising heaven as the price
You pay for hell
And I tried to make her feel
My love long before Adele, oh how I tried
And we put Zimmerman on Spotify
And listened as he told
About how he gave that girl his heart
But she wanted his soul
And I never understood that line
It didn't make no sense but when she went
I saw what Bob Dylan meant
And once I knew a woman who
Broke just like a little girl
Took our love and built with
It a perfect little world
And I still look back every day and wonder
Why it didn't work for all we tried
And we gave it every inch of
Us and every ounce of love
But even Dylan knows that sometimes
Love just ain't enough
And baby tangled up in blue is all we
Ever ended up for all we tried
But, I think I could have loved her
'til I knocked on heavens door
And she'll always be the one who
Gives me shelter from the storm
But, you know
In the end it ain't me babe she
Was looking for and I saw
What Bob Dylan thought
What Bob Dylan thought, yeah
And every break of every heart is just
The start of some new art
So when you build yourself together
Out of broken shattered parts
Just remember that for every scar you
Took on a bad day
You know you'll always be somebody
Else's one that got away
Yeah you're changing and you're growing even
If you don't quite know it
And every tear is worth it's salt, yeah
If it makes of you a poet
So be grateful for the ones who
Blew away your best laid plans
Through those lovers you discovered with
Each touch of trembling hands you understand
Why Bob Dylan sang why Bob Dylan sang, yeah
Why Bob Dylan sang why Bob Dylan sang, yeah
And I think I understand
Had my measure from the start
She tied me up in knots and then she
Tore me clean apart
And I laid with her for years and years
But I never knew her heart for all I tried
And the life we had was fiction
But it was a lie she told me well
Advertising heaven as the price
You pay for hell
And I tried to make her feel
My love long before Adele, oh how I tried
And we put Zimmerman on Spotify
And listened as he told
About how he gave that girl his heart
But she wanted his soul
And I never understood that line
It didn't make no sense but when she went

And once I knew a woman who

It a perfect little world
And I still look back every day and wonder
