Gates of Eden (mono version) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]

Of war and peace the truth just twists[00:00:04]

Its curfew gull just glides[00:00:08]

Upon four-legged forest clouds[00:00:14]

The cowboy angel rides[00:00:18]

With his candle lit into the sun[00:00:23]

Though its glow is waxed in black[00:00:28]

All except when neath the trees of eden[00:00:34]

The lamppost stands with folded arms[00:00:44]

Its iron claws attached[00:00:48]

To curbs neath holes where babies wail[00:00:54]

Though it shadows metal badge[00:00:58]

All and all can only fall[00:01:02]

With a crashing but meaningless blow[00:01:06]

No sound ever comes from the gates of eden[00:01:12]

The savage soldier sticks his head in sand[00:01:21]

And then complains[00:01:27]

Unto the shoeless hunter whos gone deaf[00:01:31]

But still remains[00:01:36]

Upon the beach where hound dogs bay[00:01:39]

At ships with tattooed sails[00:01:43]

Heading for the gates of eden[00:01:49]

With a time-rusted compass blade[00:01:59]

Aladdin and his lamp[00:02:03]

Sits with utopian hermit monks[00:02:09]

Side saddle on the golden calf[00:02:13]

And on their promises of paradise[00:02:17]

You will not hear a laugh[00:02:20]

All except inside the gates of eden[00:02:26]

Relationships of ownership[00:02:36]

They whisper in the wings[00:02:40]

To those condemned to act accordingly[00:02:45]

And wait for succeeding kings[00:02:49]

And I try to harmonize with songs[00:02:53]

The lonesome sparrow sings[00:02:57]

There are no kings inside the gates of eden[00:03:02]

The motorcycle black madonna[00:03:13]

Two-wheeled gypsy queen[00:03:17]

And her silver-studded phantom cause[00:03:22]

The gray flannel dwarf to scream[00:03:26]

As he weeps to wicked birds of prey[00:03:30]

Who pick up on his bread crumb sins[00:03:34]

And there are no sins inside the gates of eden[00:03:39]

The kingdoms of experience[00:03:49]

In the precious wind they rot[00:03:53]

While paupers change possessions[00:03:58]

Each one wishing for what the other has got[00:04:02]

And the princess and the prince[00:04:06]

Discuss what's real and what is not[00:04:09]

It doesn't matter inside the gates of eden[00:04:15]

The foreign sun it squints upon[00:04:25]

A bed that is never mine[00:04:29]

As friends and other strangers[00:04:35]

From their fates try to resign[00:04:38]

Leaving men wholly totally free[00:04:42]

To do anything they wish to do but die[00:04:46]

And there are no trials inside the gates of eden[00:04:52]

At dawn my lover comes to me[00:05:03]

And tells me of her dreams[00:05:06]

With no attempts to shovel the glimpse[00:05:12]

Into the ditch of what each one means[00:05:16]

At times I think there are no words[00:05:19]

But these to tell what's true[00:05:23]

And there are no truths outside the gates of eden[00:05:29]
