Bob Dylan Spirit On The Water Lyrics

Spirit On The Water Lyrics

Spirit on the water

Darkness on the face of the deep

I keep thinkin' about you, baby

And I can't hardly sleep



I'm travelin' by land

Travelin' through the dawn of day

You're always on my mind

I can't stay away



I'd forgotten about you

Then you turned up again

I always knew

We were meant to be more than friend



When you're near

It's just as plain as it can be

I'm wild about you, gal

You ought to be a fool about me



Can't explain

The sources of this hidden pain

You burned your way into my heart

You got the key to my brain



I've been tramplin' through mud

Prayin' to the powers above

I'm sweatin' blood

You got a face that begs for love



Life without you

Doesn't mean a thing to me

If I can't have you

I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea



Sometimes I wonder

Why you can't treat me right?

You do good all day

And then you do wrong all night



When you're with me

I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say

What does it matter?

Or what price I pay?



They brag about your sugar

Brag about it all over town

Put some sugar in my bowl

I feel like layin' down



I'm as pale as a ghost

Holdin' a blossom on a stem

You ever seen a ghost? No

But you have heard of them



I see you there

I'm blinded by the colors I see

I take good care

Of what belongs to me



I hear your name

Ringin' up and down the line

I'm sayin' it plain

These ties are strong enough to bind



Now your sweet voice

Calls out from some old familiar shrine

I got no choice

Can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind



I could live forever

With you perfectly

You don't ever

Have to make a fuss over me



From East to West

Ever since the world began

I only mean it for the best

I want to be with you any way I can



I've been in a brawl

Now I'm feeling the wall

I'm going 'way, baby

I won't be back 'til fall



High on the hill

You can carry all my thoughts with you

You've numbed my will

This love could tear me in two



I wanna be with you in paradise

And it seems so unfair

I can't go to paradise, no more

I killed a man back there



You think, I'm over the hill

Think, I'm past my prime

Let me see what you got

We can have a whoppin' good time
