《Gates of Eden(Live at Free Trade Hall， Manchester， UK - May 1965)》歌词

[00:00:00] Gates of Eden (Live at Free Trade Hall, Manchester, UK - May 1965) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:06] Lyricist：Bob Dylan

[00:00:12] Composer：Bob Dylan

[00:00:18] Of war and peace the truth just twists

[00:00:21] It's curfew gull it glides

[00:00:33] Upon four-legged forest clouds

[00:00:37] The cowboy angel rides

[00:00:42] With his candle lit into the sun

[00:00:46] Though its glow is waxed in black

[00:00:54] All except when 'neath the trees of Eden

[00:01:08] The lamppost stands with folded arms

[00:01:11] It's iron claws attached

[00:01:17] To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail

[00:01:21] Though it shadows metal badge

[00:01:28] All and all can only fall

[00:01:31] With a crashing but meaningless blow

[00:01:38] No sound at all comes from the Gates of Eden

[00:01:51] The savage soldier sticks his head in sand

[00:01:55] And then complains

[00:01:58] Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf

[00:02:02] But still remains

[00:02:05] Upon the beach where hound dogs bay

[00:02:09] At ships with tattooed sails

[00:02:17] Heading for the Gates of Eden

[00:02:30] With a time-rusted compass blade

[00:02:33] Aladdin and his lamp

[00:02:37] Sits with Utopian hermit monks

[00:02:40] Side saddle on the Golden Calf

[00:02:44] And on their promises of paradise

[00:02:48] You will not hear a laugh

[00:02:55] All except inside the Gates of Eden

[00:03:09] Relationships of ownership

[00:03:13] They whisper in the wings

[00:03:18] To those condemned to act accordingly

[00:03:22] And wait for succeeding kings

[00:03:26] And I try to harmonize with songs

[00:03:30] The lonesome sparrow sings

[00:03:37] There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden

[00:03:53] The motorcycle black Madonna

[00:03:57] Two-wheeled gypsy queen

[00:04:02] And her silver-studded phantom cause

[00:04:06] The gray flannel dwarf to scream

[00:04:10] As he weeps to wicked birds of prey

[00:04:13] Who pick up on his bread crumb sins

[00:04:21] And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden

[00:04:36] The kingdoms of experience

[00:04:39] In the precious winds they rot

[00:04:46] While paupers change possessions

[00:04:49] Each one wishing for what the other has got

[00:04:53] And the princess and the prince

[00:04:55] Discuss what's real and what is not

[00:05:05] It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden

[00:05:19] The foreign sun it squints upon

[00:05:23] A bed that is never mine

[00:05:29] As friends and other strangers

[00:05:32] From their fates try to resign

[00:05:36] Leaving men wholly totally free

[00:05:40] To do anything they wish to do but die

[00:05:48] And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden

[00:06:03] At dawn my lover comes to me

[00:06:06] And tells me of her dreams

[00:06:12] With no attempts to shovel the glimpse

[00:06:16] Into the ditch of what each one means

[00:06:22] At times I think there are no words

[00:06:26] But these to tell what's true

[00:06:34] And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden
