[00:01.73]Artist: Bob Dylan
[00:02.23]Album: Bringing It All Back Home
[00:03.23]Title: Gates Of Eden
[00:03.83]
[00:04.83]Of war and peace the truth just twists
[00:08.34]Its curfew gull just glides
[00:14.55]Upon four-legged forest clouds
[00:18.55]The cowboy angel rides
[00:24.55]With his candle lit into the sun
[00:28.46]Though its glow is waxed in black
[00:32.76]All except when 'neath the trees of eden
[00:42.05]
[00:44.85]The lamppost stands with folded arms
[00:48.65]Its iron claws attached
[00:54.56]To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
[00:58.46]Though it shadows metal badge
[01:03.47]All and all can only fall
[01:06.58]With a crashing but meaningless blow
[01:11.18]No sound ever comes from the gates of eden
[01:19.69]
[01:22.59]The savage soldier sticks his head in sand
[01:27.19]And then complains
[01:32.09]Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf
[01:36.90]But still remains
[01:40.60]Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
[01:44.20]At ships with tattooed sails
[01:48.71]Heading for the gates of eden
[01:57.11]
[01:59.31]With a time-rusted compass blade
[02:03.92]Aladdin and his lamp
[02:09.73]Sits with utopian hermit monks
[02:13.43]Side saddle on the golden calf
[02:17.84]And on their promises of paradise
[02:20.94]You will not hear a laugh
[02:27.45]All except inside the gates of eden
[02:34.56]
[02:37.16]Relationships of ownership
[02:40.37]They whisper in the wings
[02:46.58]To those condemned to act accordingly
[02:50.08]And wait for succeeding kings
[02:54.28]And i try to harmonize with songs
[02:57.58]The lonesome sparrow sings
[03:03.58]There are no kings inside the gates of eden
[03:10.68]
[03:14.09]The motorcycle black madonna
[03:17.49]Two-wheeled gypsy queen
[03:23.20]And her silver-studded phantom cause
[03:26.80]The gray flannel dwarf to scream
[03:30.80]As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
[03:34.30]Who pick up on his bread crumb sins
[03:40.02]And there are no sins inside the gates of eden
[03:47.12]
[03:48.92]The kingdoms of experience
[03:53.63]In the precious wind they rot
[03:59.63]While paupers change possessions
[04:02.54]Each one wishing for what the other has got
[04:06.65]And the princess and the prince
[04:09.65]Discuss what's real and what is not
[04:16.35]It doesn't matter inside the gates of eden
[04:24.16]
[04:26.57]The foreign sun, it squints upon
[04:30.28]A bed that is never mine
[04:35.98]As friends and other strangers
[04:38.89]From their fates try to resign
[04:43.38]Leaving men wholly, totally free
[04:46.99]To do anything they wish to do but die
[04:52.49]And there are no trials inside the gates of eden
[05:00.40]
[05:04.00]At dawn my lover comes to me
[05:07.51]And tells me of her dreams
[05:13.02]With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
[05:16.82]Into the ditch of what each one means
[05:20.32]At times i think there are no words
[05:24.32]But these to tell what's true
[05:30.13]And there are no truths outside the gates of eden
[05:39.94]
