Where Are You Tonight-(Journey Through Dark Heat) - Bob Dylan
There's a long-distance train rolling through the rain
Tears on the letter I write
There's a woman I long to touch and I miss her so much but she's drifting like a
Satellite
There's a neon light ablaze in this green smoky haze
Laughter down on
Elizabeth Street
And a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone where she bathed in a stream of pure
Heat
Her father would emphasize you got to be more than street-wise but he practiced
What he preached from the heart
A full-blooded Cherokee
He predicted to me the time and the place that the trouble would start
There's a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage
And a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage
And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page
Of a book that no one can write
Oh where are you tonight
The truth was obscure
Too profound and too pure
To live it you have to explode
In that last hour of need
We entirely agreed
Sacrifice was the code of the road
I left town at dawn with Marcel and St John
Strong men belittled by doubt
I couldn't tell her what my private thoughts were but she had some way of finding
Them out
He took dead-center aim but he missed just the same
She was waiting
Putting flowers on the shelf
She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair and discovered her invisible self
There's a lion in the road
There's a demon escaped
There's a million dreams gone
There's a landscape being raped
As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape
I won't but then again maybe I might
Oh if I could just find you tonight
I fought with my twin that enemy within
'Til both of us fell by the way
Horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees while the law looks the other way
Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes
The guy you were lovin'
Couldn't stay clean
It felt outa place my foot in his face
But he should-a stayed where his money was
Green
I bit into the root of forbidden fruit with the juice running down my leg
Then I dealt with your boss
Who'd never known about loss and who always was
Too proud to beg
There's a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room and a pathway that leads
Up to the stars
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise
Remind me to show you the
Scars
There's a new day at dawn and I've finally arrived
If I'm there in the morning
Baby you'll know I've survived
I can't believe it I can't believe I'm alive
But without you it just doesn't seem right
Oh where are you tonight
