Gates of Eden (Live at Free Trade Hall, Manchester, UK - May 1965) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]

Lyricist：Bob Dylan[00:00:06]

Composer：Bob Dylan[00:00:12]

Of war and peace the truth just twists[00:00:18]

It's curfew gull it glides[00:00:21]

Upon four-legged forest clouds[00:00:33]

The cowboy angel rides[00:00:37]

With his candle lit into the sun[00:00:42]

Though its glow is waxed in black[00:00:46]

All except when 'neath the trees of Eden[00:00:54]

The lamppost stands with folded arms[00:01:08]

It's iron claws attached[00:01:11]

To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail[00:01:17]

Though it shadows metal badge[00:01:21]

All and all can only fall[00:01:28]

With a crashing but meaningless blow[00:01:31]

No sound at all comes from the Gates of Eden[00:01:38]

The savage soldier sticks his head in sand[00:01:51]

And then complains[00:01:55]

Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf[00:01:58]

But still remains[00:02:02]

Upon the beach where hound dogs bay[00:02:05]

At ships with tattooed sails[00:02:09]

Heading for the Gates of Eden[00:02:17]

With a time-rusted compass blade[00:02:30]

Aladdin and his lamp[00:02:33]

Sits with Utopian hermit monks[00:02:37]

Side saddle on the Golden Calf[00:02:40]

And on their promises of paradise[00:02:44]

You will not hear a laugh[00:02:48]

All except inside the Gates of Eden[00:02:55]

Relationships of ownership[00:03:09]

They whisper in the wings[00:03:13]

To those condemned to act accordingly[00:03:18]

And wait for succeeding kings[00:03:22]

And I try to harmonize with songs[00:03:26]

The lonesome sparrow sings[00:03:30]

There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden[00:03:37]

The motorcycle black Madonna[00:03:53]

Two-wheeled gypsy queen[00:03:57]

And her silver-studded phantom cause[00:04:02]

The gray flannel dwarf to scream[00:04:06]

As he weeps to wicked birds of prey[00:04:10]

Who pick up on his bread crumb sins[00:04:13]

And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden[00:04:21]

The kingdoms of experience[00:04:36]

In the precious winds they rot[00:04:39]

While paupers change possessions[00:04:46]

Each one wishing for what the other has got[00:04:49]

And the princess and the prince[00:04:53]

Discuss what's real and what is not[00:04:55]

It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden[00:05:05]

The foreign sun it squints upon[00:05:19]

A bed that is never mine[00:05:23]

As friends and other strangers[00:05:29]

From their fates try to resign[00:05:32]

Leaving men wholly totally free[00:05:36]

To do anything they wish to do but die[00:05:40]

And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden[00:05:48]

At dawn my lover comes to me[00:06:03]

And tells me of her dreams[00:06:06]

With no attempts to shovel the glimpse[00:06:12]

Into the ditch of what each one means[00:06:16]

At times I think there are no words[00:06:22]

But these to tell what's true[00:06:26]

And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden[00:06:34]
