Bob Dylan Lyrics

Album: ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN

To Ramona Lyrics

Ramona, come closer

 Shut softly your watery eyes

 The pangs of your sadness

 Will pass as your senses will rise

 The flowers of the city 

 Though breathlike, get deathlike at times

 And there's no use in tryin'

 To deal with the dyin'

 Though I cannot explain that in lines.

 

 Your cracked country lips

 I still wish to kiss

 As to be by the strength of you skin

 Your magnetic movements

 Still capture the minutes I'm in

 But it grieves my heart, love

 To see you tryin' to be a part of

 A world that just don't existv It's all just a dream, babe

 A vacuum, a scheme, babe

 That sucks you into feelin' like this.

 

 I can see that your head

 Has been twisted and fed

 With worthless foam from the mouth

 I can tell you are torn

 Between stayin' and returnin' 

 Back to the South

 You've been fooled into thinking

 That the finishin' end is at hand

 Yet there's no one to beat you

 No one to defeat you

 'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad

 

 I've heard you say many times

 That you're better 'n no one

 And no one is better 'n you

 If you really believe that

 You know you have 

 Nothing to win and nothing to lose

 From fixtures and forces and friends

 Your sorrow does stem

 That hype you and type you

 Making you feel

 That you gotta be just like them.

 

 I'd forever talk to you

 But soon my words

 They would turn into a meaningless ring

 For deep in my heart

 I know there is no help I can bring

 Everything passes

 Everything changes

 Just do what you think you should do

 And someday, maybe

 Who knows, baby

 I'll come and be cryin' to you.
