Long and Wasted Years Bob Dylan It's been such a long, long time Since we loved each other and our hearts were true One time, for one brief day, I was the man for you Last night I heard you talkin' in your sleep Saying things you shouldn't say, oh baby You just might have to go to jail someday Is there a place we can go, Is there anybody we can see? Maybe It's the same for you as it is for me I ain't seen my family in twenty years That ain't easy to understand, they may be dead by now I lost track of 'em after they lost their land Shake it up baby, twist and shout You know what it's all about What are you doing out there in the sun anyway? Don't you know, the sun can burn your brains right out My enemy crashed into the dust Stopped dead in his tracks and he lost his lust He was run down hard and he broke apart He died in shame, he had an iron heart I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes There are secrets in 'em that I can't disguise Come back baby If I hurt your feelings, I apologize Two trains running side by side, forty miles wide Down the eastern line You don't have to go, I just came to you because you're a friend of mine I think that when my back was turned, The whole world behind me burned It's been a while, Since we walked down that long, long aisle We cried on a cold and frosty morn, We cried because our souls were torn So much for tears So much for these long and wasted years
Once you've heard the words more clearly on the official release, you don't need them anymore. The meaning here, is conveyed through the sound of the voice and one can grasp the meaning through mood and intonations of his gravely, old and wise man voice.
Thanks for the upload, zoothorn99. 👍 I watched about 10 other videos of this song and this is absolutely the best version, especially with the close-up camera. Also, the song is one of my favorites, but there so many favorites... 😄
I can't stop watching these videos you have a great great talent!! Hope you have some free time in the future to post more. Thanks again for all this hard work!!
Thanks! I've watched them more than a few times myself :) I may have a few more that aren't totally dark. I'll take another look and see what I can post.
Und dann stehst Du plötzlich vor mir und schaust mich an und singst über mich, als wäre ich der Inbegriff all dessen, was Du je gesucht hast. - Das war sehr viel auf einmal, Bobby. Das muss ich erstmal verdauen!
haven't seen this quality video of Dylan live in many years - these CP vids will certainly become part of his legacy. Were you paid to take these vids, zoothorn99? Anyway, they are awesome.
chronecro Thanks Chronecro. Paid? Ha, no. I'm afraid they are viewed quite the contrary by the artist but I view it as a small documentation of his current live performance. Glad you enjoyed.
what do they need an experiment to find out how it feels to experience alone what one usually experiences in groups, like a bob Dylan concert? I can tell you first hand. Just ask me.
sara teasdale is speaking to me: When I am dead and over me bright April shakes out here rain drenched hair Though you should lean over me broken hearted I shall not care I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful when rain bends downs the bough And I shall be more silent and cold hearted then you are now.
Regardless of our compatible astrology signs, I fear it wouldn't work anyways, I don't do jets or alcohol, I've a speck of patience left when it comes to men, and he's probably looking for an "arrangement" as is the fashion in these times. I wouldn't know what to do with such an accomplished man, and money can truly be a burden, and he will never ask this poor. simple girl out, so it is as it is. I will remain heartbroken for the rest of time {{{sigh}}}
