When The Deal Goes Down Lyrics - Modern Times - Bob Dylan

In the still of the night, in the world's ancient light 

Where wisdom grows up in strife 

My bewilderin' brain, toils in vain 

Through the darkness on the pathways of life 

Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air 

Tomorrow keeps turnin' around 

We live and we die, we know not why 

But I'll be with you when the deal goes down 

We eat and we drink, we feel and we think 

Far down the street we stray 

I laugh and I cry, and I'm haunted by 

Things I never meant nor wished to say

The midnight rain follows the train 

We all wear the same thorny crown 

Soul to soul, our shadows roll 

And I'll be with you when the deal goes down 

Well, the moon gives light and it shines by night 

When I scarcely feel the glow 

We learn to live and then we forgive 

O'er the road we're bound to go 

More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours 

That keep us so tightly bound 

You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies 

And I'll be with you when the deal goes down 

Well, I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes 

I followed that winding stream 

I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys 

I know they're not what they seem 

Photos 

In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain 

You'll never see me frown 

I owe my heart to you and that's sayin' it true 

And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
