Ballad In Plain D - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
I once loved a girl her skin it was bronze[00:00:00]
With the innocence of a lamb she was gentle like a fawn[00:00:11]
I courted her proudly but now she is gone[00:00:19]
Gone as the season she's taken[00:00:26]
Through young summers breeze I stole her away[00:00:36]
From her mother and sister though close did they stay[00:00:44]
Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day[00:00:52]
With strings of guilt they tried hard to guide us[00:00:59]
Of the two sisters I loved the young[00:01:13]
With sensitive instincts she was the creative one[00:01:23]
The constant scapegoat she was easily undone[00:01:30]
By the jealousy of others around her[00:01:38]
For her parasite sister I had no respect[00:01:47]
Bound by her boredom her pride to protect[00:01:57]
Countless visions of the other shed reflect[00:02:05]
As a crutch for her scenes and her society[00:02:11]
Myself for what I did I cannot be excused[00:02:23]
The changes I was going through cant even be used[00:02:31]
For the lies that I told her in hopes not to lose[00:02:40]
The could-be dream-lover of my lifetime[00:02:47]
With unknown consciousness I possessed in my grip[00:02:58]
A magnificent mantelpiece though its heart being chipped[00:03:06]
Noticing not that Id already slipped[00:03:15]
To a sin of loves false security[00:03:21]
From silhouetted anger to manufactured peace [00:03:33]
Answers of emptiness voice vacancies[00:03:40]
Till the tombstones of damage read me no questions but please[00:03:47]
Whats wrong and whats exactly the matter[00:03:54]
And so it did happen like it could have been foreseen[00:04:08]
The timeless explosion of fantasys dream[00:04:14]
At the peak of the night the king and the queen[00:04:22]
Tumbled all down into pieces[00:04:29]
The tragic figure her sister did shout[00:04:42]
Leave her alone God damn you get out[00:04:50]
And I in my armor turning about[00:04:56]
And nailing her to the ruins of her pettiness[00:05:03]
Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound[00:05:15]
Her sister and I in a screaming battleground[00:05:22]
And she in between the victim of sound[00:05:29]
Soon shattered as a child neath her shadows[00:05:37]
All is gone all is gone admit it take flight[00:05:50]
I gagged twice doubled tears blinding my sight[00:05:58]
My mind it was mangled I ran into the night[00:06:06]
Leaving all of loves ashe's behind me[00:06:13]
The wind knocks my window the room it is wet [00:06:26]
The words to say I'm sorry I haven't found yet[00:06:33]
I think of her often and hope whoever she's met[00:06:41]
Will be fully aware of how precious she is[00:06:48]
Ah my friends from the prison they ask unto me[00:07:28]
How good how good does it feel to be free[00:07:36]
And I answer them most mysteriously[00:07:43]
Are birds free from the chains of the skyway[00:07:49]
