Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands 歌詞

Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands - Bob Dylan

Lyrics by:Bob Dylan

Composed by:Bob Dylan

With your mercury mouth in the missionary times

 

And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes

 

And your silver cross and your voice like chimes

 

Oh who do they think could bury you

 

With your pockets well protected at last

 

And your streetcar visions which ya place on the grass

 

And your flesh like silk and your face like glass

 

Who could they get to carry you

 

Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

 

Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

 

My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

 

Should I put them by your gate

 

Or sad-eyed lady should I wait

 

With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace

 

And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace

 

And your basement clothes and your hollow face

 

Who among them can think he could outguess you

 

With your silhouette when the sunlight dims

 

Into your eyes where the moonlight swims

 

And your matchbook songs and your gypsy hymns

 

Who among them would try to impress you

 

Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

 

Where the sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes

 

My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

 

Should I put them by your gate

 

Or sad-eyed lady should I wait

 

The kings of Tyrus with their convict list

 

Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss

 

And ya wouldn't know it woulda happened like this

 

But who among them really wants just to kiss you

 

With your childhood flames on your midnight rug

 

And your Spanish manners and your mother's d**gs

 

And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs

 

Who among them do ya think could resist you

 

Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

 

Where the sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes

 

My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

 

Should I leave them by your gate

 

Or sad-eyed lady should I wait

 

Oh the farmers and the businessmen they all did decide

 

To show you where the dead angels are that they used to hide

 

But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side

 

How could they ever mistake you

 

They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm

 

But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm

 

And with the child of the hoodlum wrapped up in your arms

 

How could they ever have persuaded you

 

Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

 

Where the sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes

 

My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

 

Should I leave them by your gate

 

Or sad-eyed lady should I wait

 

With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row

 

And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go

 

And your gentleness now which you just can't help but show

 

Who among them do you think would employ you

 

Now you stand with your thief you're on his parole

 

With your holy medallion and your fingertips now that fold

 

And your saintlike face and your ghost-like soul

 

Who among them could ever think it could destroy you

 

Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

 

Where the sad-eyed prophet say that no man comes

 

My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

 

Should I leave them by your gate

 

 

Or sad-eyed lady should I wait
