Ballad In Plain D歌词

[00:00.94]In Plain D - Bob DylanBallad
[00:01.00]I once loved a girl
[00:04.45]
[00:05.39]her skin it was bronze.
[00:07.52]
[00:11.97]With the innocence of a lamb
[00:14.90]she was gentle like a fawn.
[00:17.04]
[00:18.97]I courted her proudly
[00:20.99]
[00:21.80]but now she is gone,
[00:23.93]
[00:25.90]Gone as the season shes taken.
[00:30.16]
[00:36.36]Through young summers breeze
[00:39.23]
[00:40.05]I stole her away
[00:42.25]
[00:44.09]From her mother and sister
[00:46.97]though close did they stay.
[00:49.47]
[00:52.81]Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day,
[00:57.94]
[00:59.63]With strings of guilt
[01:01.77]they tried hard to guide us.
[01:06.02]
[01:13.93]Of the two sisters,
[01:17.13]
[01:18.19]I loved the young.
[01:20.09]
[01:23.28]With sensitive instincts,
[01:25.40]
[01:26.10]she was the creative one.
[01:28.75]
[01:30.98]The constant scapegoat,
[01:33.93]she was easily undone
[01:36.39]
[01:38.52]By the jealousy of others around her.
[01:43.53]
[01:47.85]For her parasite sister,
[01:52.45]
[01:53.00]I had no respect,
[01:54.94]
[01:57.56]Bound by her boredom,
[01:59.76]
[02:00.32]her pride to protect.
[02:02.54]
[02:05.03]Countless visions of the other shed reflect
[02:09.50]
[02:11.70]As a crutch for her scenes and her society.
[02:17.03]
[02:23.10]Myself, for what I did,
[02:27.50]I cannot be excused,
[02:29.81]
[02:31.63]The changes I was going through cant even be used,
[02:36.66]
[02:40.23]For the lies that I told her in hopes not to lose
[02:45.13]
[02:46.25]The could-be dream-lover of my lifetime.
[02:52.85]
[02:58.68]With unknown consciousness
[03:03.00]I possessed in my grip
[03:05.44]
[03:06.87]A magnificent mantelpiece
[03:10.27]though its heart being chipped,
[03:12.64]
[03:15.09]Noticing not that Id already slipped
[03:19.37]
[03:21.42]To a sin of loves false security.
[03:27.28]
[03:33.36]From silhouetted anger to manufactured peace,
[03:38.19]
[03:40.81]Answers of emptiness
[03:43.78]voice vacancies,
[03:45.17]
[03:47.49]Till the tombstones of damage
[03:50.30]read me no questions but, please,
[03:53.32]
[03:54.45]Whats wrong and whats exactly the matter?
[04:00.77]
[04:07.94]And so it did happen
[04:10.12]
[04:10.81]like it could have been foreseen,
[04:13.15]
[04:14.96]The timeless explosion of fantasys dream.
[04:19.98]
[04:21.98]At the peak of the night,
[04:24.11]
[04:25.05]the king and the queen
[04:27.20]
[04:28.51]Tumbled all down into pieces.
[04:34.85]
[04:43.16]The tragic figure!
[04:45.38]
[04:46.19]her sister did shout,
[04:48.22]
[04:50.21]Leave her alone,
[04:52.10]
[04:52.67]God damn you, get out!
[04:54.98]
[04:56.38]And I in my armor,
[04:58.81]
[04:59.58]turning about
[05:01.14]
[05:03.32]And nailing her to the ruins of her pettiness.
[05:08.80]
[05:15.26]Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound
[05:21.01]
[05:22.88]Her sister and I in a screaming battleground.
[05:28.22]
[05:29.98]And she in between,
[05:31.85]
[05:32.82]the victim of sound,
[05:34.88]
[05:37.00]Soon shattered as a child neath her shadows.
[05:42.91]
[05:50.82]All is gone, all is gone,
[05:54.20]
[05:54.76]admit it, take flight.
[05:56.78]
[05:58.59]I gagged twice, doubled,
[06:01.58]tears blinding my sight.
[06:04.27]
[06:06.34]My mind it was mangled,
[06:08.92]I ran into the night
[06:11.16]
[06:13.13]Leaving all of loves ashes behind me.
[06:18.84]
[06:26.11]The wind knocks my window,
[06:28.80]
[06:29.55]the room it is wet.
[06:31.44]
[06:33.57]The words to say Im sorry,
[06:36.65]I havent found yet.
[06:38.78]
[06:41.10]I think of her often and hope whoever shes met
[06:45.98]
[06:47.23]Will be fully aware of how precious she is.
[06:53.51]
[07:29.05]Ah, my friends from the prison,
[07:32.20]
[07:32.89]they ask unto me,
[07:34.64]
[07:36.58]How good,
[07:38.04]how good does it feel to be free?
[07:41.49]
[07:43.63]And I answer them most mysteriously,
[07:48.20]
[07:48.96]Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?
[07:56.61]
[07:57.67]
