Sad-Eyed Lady
I like Bob Dylan lots.
Sad-Eyed Lady
I look into the eyes of an old friend and then I wonder to myself,
Is this the end? The memories swim around like songs sung so long ago,
It's sad yet as tears fill my eyes and I think of all the lovers who
Will never be, 'cause sometimes things just don't work out,
As the last minute of the last year slips away,
And all the kisses and laughs cannot be forget,
For though this world is old you and I are still young,
So dance to the music of a better man,
And I'll sing another song,
As the hourglass slowly cracks
And all we were blows away
And covers the world with love.
Stars are falling all over this town
And I saw every one burn out before,
As the sky stays as cold as snow
The morning is slowly coming on,
You still belong to me like my heart belongs to you,
We just don't know it yet.
So close my eyes and wish me a goodnight,
And send a letter to a friend telling them
Of a gunshot to my head,
Remember me as I was not as I am,
That I was loyal until the end
And a good man.
I'm standing outside the funeral procession
Watching you walk away from him,
And sometimes things just don't work out
But that's no reason to run away,
And you and I both know that all too well
For we loved each other more than we dared to tell.
