BLOOD ON THE TRACKS
MORE BLOOD MORE TRACKS: THE BOOTLEG SERIES Vol. 14 (DeLuxe Edition) #8

Blood On The Tracks session 5, Sound 80 Studio, Minneapolis - 27.dec.1974, album version  

Our conversation was short an' sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet  
An' i'm back in the rain, oh
An' you are on dry land
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now.

Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense
An' i'm just like that bird, oh
Singin' just for you
Hope that you can hear
Hear me singin' through these tears.

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last
I can change i swear, oh
See what you can do
I can make it through
You can make it too.

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, i'm learnin' it these days
Oh, i know where i can find you, oh
In somebody's room
It's a price i have to pay
You're a big girl all the way.

A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream
I'm going out of my mind, oh
With a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart.

Our conversation was short an' sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet
An' i'm back in the rain, [mm/oh]
You are on dry land, [mm/oh]
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now.

Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense
An' i'm just like that bird, [mm/oh]
Singin' just for you, [mm/oh]
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singin' through these tears.

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the [time1,3,2r/while2,1r], i'm learnin' it these days
Oh, i know where i can find you, mm
In somebody's room, mm
It's a price i have to pay
You're a big girl all the way.

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame [it is1,2,3] that all we've shared can't last
I can change i swear, [mm/oh]
See what you can do, mm
I can make it through
You can make it too.

A change in the weather [can1,2,1r,2r/might3] be extreme
But it ain't like changing horses in midstream
I'm going out of my mind, [mm/oh]
With a pain that stops and starts, [mm/oh]
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart.

23 May 1976
HARD RAIN

  Live, Rolling Thunder Revue 2, Fort Collins CO - 23.may.1976  

Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly knocked me off-a my feet
And I'm back in the rain
And you are on dry land
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now.

Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
Singin' just for you
I hope you can hear
Hear me singin' through these tears.

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Oh, i know where i can find you
In somebody's room
It's a price i have to pay
You're a big girl all the way.

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Well i'll change, i swear
See what you can do
I can make it through
You can make it too.

A change in the weather is always extreme
But what the sense of changing horses in midstream?
I'm going out of my mind
With a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart.
