Cold Irons Bound Songtext
von Bob Dylan

I′m beginning to hear voices and there's no one around
Now I′m all used up fields are brown
I went to church on Sunday and I saw her go by
My love is taking such a long time to die

And I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist
It's just almost like I don′t exist
Lord, I′m 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

Well, the wall of pride is so high and wide
Well, you can't see over to the other side
It′s such a sad thing to see beauty decay
Even sadder still to feel your heart torn away

One look at you and I'm out of control
Just like the universe has swallowed me whole
Lord, I′m 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

Now the winds in Chicago like to tear me to shreds
Reality for me got too many heads
There are some kinds of things that you never can never kill
There are some things that last longer than you think they will


But it's you and you only that I′m thinking about
But you can't see in, and it's so hard looking out
Lord, I′m 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound
Lord, I′m 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

Well, there's so many stones in the pathway
It′s so easy to be corrupted in my corner of the world
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's a mud
Right over head nothing but clouds of blood

I found my world in you
But your love hasn proved untrue
Lord, I′m 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound
Yeah, I'm 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

Now the fat′s in the fire and the water's in the tank
And the whiskey's in the jar, and the money′s in the bank
I tried to tell her of eternity in my mind
Lord, I need to feel some to tell her kind

I′m glad I'm on my, that I′m on my bended knee
You got no idea what you did to me
Lord, I'm 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound
20 miles out of town in cold irons bound
