Narrow Way Lyrics - Tempest (2 Vinyl Lps + Cd) - Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan — Narrow Way lyrics 

I'm gonna walk across the desert, 'til I'm in my right mind. 

I won't even think about, what I left behind 

Nothing back there anyway, that I can call my own 

Go back home, leave me alone 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday 

Ever since the British, burned the White House down 

There's a bleeding wound, in the heart of town 

I saw you drinking, from an empty cup 

I saw you buried, and I saw you dug up 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday

Look down angel, from the skies 

Help my, weary soul to rise 

I kissed her cheek, I dragged your plough 

You broke my heart, I was your friend 'til now. 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday 

In the courtyard, of the golden sun 

You stand and fight, or you break and run 

You went and lost, your lovely head 

For a drink of wine, and a crust of bread 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday 

We nodded and we plundered, on distant shores 

Why is my share, not equal to yours 

Your father left you, your mother too 

Even death has, washed it's hands of you 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday

This is hard country, to stay alive in 

Blades are everywhere, and they're breaking my skin 

I'm armed to the hilt, and I'm struggling hard 

You won't get out, of here unscarred. 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday 

You got too many lovers, waiting at the wall 

About a thousand tons, I couldn't count them all 

Yesterday, I could've thrown them all in the sea 

Today, even one, may be too much for me 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday 

Can't walk them baby, you could do no wrong 

Put your arms around me, where they belong 

I won't take you under, for the ghost to ride 

Lay my hands all over ya, tie you to my side 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday 

I've got a heavy stacked woman, with a smile on her face 

And she has crowned, my soul with grace 

Im still hurting from an arrow, that pierced my chest 

I'm gonna have to take my head, and bury it between your breasts 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday 

Been dark all night, but now it's dawn 

The moving finger, is moving on 

You can guard me, while I sleep 

Piss away, the tears I weep 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday 

I love women, and she loves men 

We've been to the west, and we going back again 

I heard a voice, at the dusk of day 

Saying, "Be gentle brother, be gentle and pray." 

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way 

If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
