Crossing the Rubicon

Crossing the Rubicon - Bob Dylan

Lyrics by：Bob Dylan

Composed by：Bob Dylan

I crossed the Rubicon on a 14 day

Of the most dangerous month of the year

At the worst time at the worst place

That's all I seem to hear

I go to Berlin

So I can greet the Goddess of the dawn

I've been in my wagon abandon all hope

And I crossed the Rubicon

Well the Rubicon is a red river

Goin' gently as she flows

Rather than your ruby lips

And our blood that flows from the rose

Three miles north of purgatory

One step from the great beyond

I prayed to the cross I kissed the girls

And I crossed the Rubicon

What are these donkeys I see

In this world so badly

How can I relieve the time

The times so idly spent

How much longer can it last

How long can it go on

I embrace my love

Put down my hair

And I crossed the Rubicon

I can feel the bones beneath my skin

And they're tremblin' with rage

I'll make your wife a widow

You'll never see who it is

Show me one good man in sight

As the sun shines down upon

Upon my watch I paid my debts

And I crossed the Rubicon

Put my height up on a hill

Where some happiness I'll find

If I survive then let me love

Let the hour be mine

Take the high road

Take the low

Take a any one you're on

I poured a cup

I passed it along

And I crossed the Rubicon

Well you defiled the rose lovely flower

And I live womanhood

Oh the skin be tolerant

Oh the skin be good

I catch you up before the crooked knife

Lord that I miss ya

What are you gone

I stood between heaven and earth

And I crossed the Rubicon

You won't find any happiness here

No happiness or joy

Go back to the gutter try your luck

Find you some nice Philly boy

Tell me how many men I need

And who's in our

I stabbed my belt I buttoned my coat

And I crossed the Rubicon

I feel the holy spirit inside

See the light that freedom gives

I believe it's in the reach of

Ever' man who lives

Keep as far away as possible

As dark as for the dawn

Oh no

I tear the key and broke it off

And I crossed the Rubicon

Mornin' baby I used to look my mind

I truly believe that you are

Couldn't be anybody else but you who's come with me this far

They're killin' fosters underground

Honey how the leaves are gone

I lived the torture looked at the east

And I crossed the Rubicon
