To Ramona
Bob Dylan
Ramona come closer, shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness shall 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 under the strength of your 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 exsist It's all just a dream babe, a vacuum, a scheme babe That sucks you into feeling like this I can see that your head has been twisted and fed By worthless foam from the mouth I can tell you are torn between staying and returning on back to the south You've been fooled into thinking that the finishing end is at hand Yet there's no one to beat you, no one to defeat you Cept the thought of yourself feelin'bad I've heard you say many times that you're better than no one And no one is better than 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 would turn into a meaningless ring For deep in my heart I know there's 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 crying to you.
