I Told You I Couldn't Stop Lyrics - Seeing Things - Jakob Dylan

Oh, in my mind's eye, a plantation 

In the clearing is a platform station 

In the distance is a kingdom 

Into the front line is how I'm coming 

They say in war all is fair 

I am headed to the field 

In spite of my condition 

Whatever you thought 

Whatever you thought 

You know I told you 

I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop 

Through the desert, out to the sea 

Weather beaten through all four seasons 

And there is love in my creation 

I've come back for all the right reasons 

That ain't your castle 

You're not a queen, that isn't yours 

That you're so busy there protecting 

Whatever you thought 

Whatever you thought 

You know I told you 

I couldn't stop 

Whatever you thought 

Whatever you thought 

You know I told you 

I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop 

All this beauty is sticky sweet 

This naughty world is due for a good deed 

Give me your poor tired huddled masses 

Bring me the head of a mule and my glasses 

Sing that lonesome high melody 

Rumble young men 

But hobble behind me 

Whatever you thought 

Whatever you thought 

You know I told you 

I couldn't stop 

Whatever you thought 

Whatever you thought 

You know I told you 

I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop 

I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop
