I'm Not There Lyrics - The Basement Tapes Raw: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 - Bob Dylan

Things are crashing down 

She's all too tight 

In my neighborhood 

She cried both day and night 

I know it because it was there 

It's a milestone 

But she's down on her luck 

And the day makes her lonely 

But to make it hard to buck, now and then 

I believe that she'd stop him 

If she would start to care 

I believe that she'd look upon 

His side that used to care 

And I'd go by the Lord 

Anywhere she's on my way 

But I don't belong there

No I don't belong to her 

I don't belong to any body 

She's my Christ-forsaken angel 

But she don't hear me cry 

She's a lone-hearted mystic 

And she can't carry on 

When I'm there, she's all right 

But she's not when I'm gone 

Heaven knows that the answer 

She don't calling no one 

She's the way, forsaken beauty 

For she's mine, for the one 

And I lost her, hesitation 

By temptation as it runs 

But she don't holler me 

But I'm not there, I'm gone 

Photos 

Now I'll cry tonight 

Like I cried the night before 

And I'm knees on the hassle 

But I'll dream about the door 

It's so long, she's forsaken 

By her faith, worse to tell 

It don't have contonation 

She smiles, fare thee well 

Now when I treat to leave 'er 

I was born to love her 

But she knows that the kingdom awaits 

So high above her 

And I run a better race 

But it's not too fast still 

But I don't perceive her 

I'm not there, I'm gone 

Well it's all about diffusion 

And I cry for her veil 

I don't need anybody now 

Beside me to tell 

And it's all affirmation 

I receive but it's not 

She's a lone-hearted beauty 

But she don't like a spot 

And she calls 

Yeah, she's gone like the rain 

Below the shining yesterday 

But now she's home beside me 

And I'd like her here to stay 

She's a lone, forsaken beauty 

And it don't trust anyone 

And I wish I was beside her 

But I'm not there, I'm gone 

Well, it's too hard to stay here 

And I don't want to leave 

It's so bad, for so few 

See, but she's a heart too hard to need 

It's alone, it's a crime 

The way she mauls me around 

But she don't fall to hate me 

But tears are gone, a painted clown 

Yes, I believe that it's rightful 

Oh, I believe it in my mind 

I've been told like I said one night before 

Carry on the cryin' 

And the sole gypsy told her 

Like I said, carry on 

I wish I was there to help her 

But I'm not there, I'm gone
