[00:00.94] In Plain D - Bob DylanBallad
[00:01.00] I once loved a girl
[00:04.45]
[00:05.39] her skin it was bronze.
[00:07.52]
[00:11.97] With the innocence of a lamb
[00:14.90] she was gentle like a fawn.
[00:17.04]
[00:18.97] I courted her proudly
[00:20.99]
[00:21.80] but now she is gone,
[00:23.93]
[00:25.90] Gone as the season shes taken.
[00:30.16]
[00:36.36] Through young summers breeze
[00:39.23]
[00:40.05] I stole her away
[00:42.25]
[00:44.09] From her mother and sister
[00:46.97] though close did they stay.
[00:49.47]
[00:52.81] Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day,
[00:57.94]
[00:59.63] With strings of guilt
[01:01.77] they tried hard to guide us.
[01:06.02]
[01:13.93] Of the two sisters,
[01:17.13]
[01:18.19] I loved the young.
[01:20.09]
[01:23.28] With sensitive instincts,
[01:25.40]
[01:26.10] she was the creative one.
[01:28.75]
[01:30.98] The constant scapegoat,
[01:33.93] she was easily undone
[01:36.39]
[01:38.52] By the jealousy of others around her.
[01:43.53]
[01:47.85] For her parasite sister,
[01:52.45]
[01:53.00] I had no respect,
[01:54.94]
[01:57.56] Bound by her boredom,
[01:59.76]
[02:00.32] her pride to protect.
[02:02.54]
[02:05.03] Countless visions of the other shed reflect
[02:09.50]
[02:11.70] As a crutch for her scenes and her society.
[02:17.03]
[02:23.10] Myself, for what I did,
[02:27.50] I cannot be excused,
[02:29.81]
[02:31.63] The changes I was going through cant even be used,
[02:36.66]
[02:40.23] For the lies that I told her in hopes not to lose
[02:45.13]
[02:46.25] The could-be dream-lover of my lifetime.
[02:52.85]
[02:58.68] With unknown consciousness
[03:03.00] I possessed in my grip
[03:05.44]
[03:06.87] A magnificent mantelpiece
[03:10.27] though its heart being chipped,
[03:12.64]
[03:15.09] Noticing not that Id already slipped
[03:19.37]
[03:21.42] To a sin of loves false security.
[03:27.28]
[03:33.36] From silhouetted anger to manufactured peace,
[03:38.19]
[03:40.81] Answers of emptiness
[03:43.78] voice vacancies,
[03:45.17]
[03:47.49] Till the tombstones of damage
[03:50.30] read me no questions but, please,
[03:53.32]
[03:54.45] Whats wrong and whats exactly the matter?
[04:00.77]
[04:07.94] And so it did happen
[04:10.12]
[04:10.81] like it could have been foreseen,
[04:13.15]
[04:14.96] The timeless explosion of fantasys dream.
[04:19.98]
[04:21.98] At the peak of the night,
[04:24.11]
[04:25.05] the king and the queen
[04:27.20]
[04:28.51] Tumbled all down into pieces.
[04:34.85]
[04:43.16] The tragic figure!
[04:45.38]
[04:46.19] her sister did shout,
[04:48.22]
[04:50.21] Leave her alone,
[04:52.10]
[04:52.67] God damn you, get out!
[04:54.98]
[04:56.38] And I in my armor,
[04:58.81]
[04:59.58] turning about
[05:01.14]
[05:03.32] And nailing her to the ruins of her pettiness.
[05:08.80]
[05:15.26] Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound
[05:21.01]
[05:22.88] Her sister and I in a screaming battleground.
[05:28.22]
[05:29.98] And she in between,
[05:31.85]
[05:32.82] the victim of sound,
[05:34.88]
[05:37.00] Soon shattered as a child neath her shadows.
[05:42.91]
[05:50.82] All is gone, all is gone,
[05:54.20]
[05:54.76] admit it, take flight.
[05:56.78]
[05:58.59] I gagged twice, doubled,
[06:01.58] tears blinding my sight.
[06:04.27]
[06:06.34] My mind it was mangled,
[06:08.92] I ran into the night
[06:11.16]
[06:13.13] Leaving all of loves ashes behind me.
[06:18.84]
[06:26.11] The wind knocks my window,
[06:28.80]
[06:29.55] the room it is wet.
[06:31.44]
[06:33.57] The words to say Im sorry,
[06:36.65] I havent found yet.
[06:38.78]
[06:41.10] I think of her often and hope whoever shes met
[06:45.98]
[06:47.23] Will be fully aware of how precious she is.
[06:53.51]
[07:29.05] Ah, my friends from the prison,
[07:32.20]
[07:32.89] they ask unto me,
[07:34.64]
[07:36.58] How good,
[07:38.04] how good does it feel to be free?
[07:41.49]
[07:43.63] And I answer them most mysteriously,
[07:48.20]
[07:48.96] Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?
[07:56.61]
[07:57.67]
