《Gates of Eden(mono version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Gates of Eden (mono version) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:04] Of war and peace the truth just twists

[00:00:08] Its curfew gull just glides

[00:00:14] Upon four-legged forest clouds

[00:00:18] The cowboy angel rides

[00:00:23] With his candle lit into the sun

[00:00:28] Though its glow is waxed in black

[00:00:34] All except when neath the trees of eden

[00:00:44] The lamppost stands with folded arms

[00:00:48] Its iron claws attached

[00:00:54] To curbs neath holes where babies wail

[00:00:58] Though it shadows metal badge

[00:01:02] All and all can only fall

[00:01:06] With a crashing but meaningless blow

[00:01:12] No sound ever comes from the gates of eden

[00:01:21] The savage soldier sticks his head in sand

[00:01:27] And then complains

[00:01:31] Unto the shoeless hunter whos gone deaf

[00:01:36] But still remains

[00:01:39] Upon the beach where hound dogs bay

[00:01:43] At ships with tattooed sails

[00:01:49] Heading for the gates of eden

[00:01:59] With a time-rusted compass blade

[00:02:03] Aladdin and his lamp

[00:02:09] Sits with utopian hermit monks

[00:02:13] Side saddle on the golden calf

[00:02:17] And on their promises of paradise

[00:02:20] You will not hear a laugh

[00:02:26] All except inside the gates of eden

[00:02:36] Relationships of ownership

[00:02:40] They whisper in the wings

[00:02:45] To those condemned to act accordingly

[00:02:49] And wait for succeeding kings

[00:02:53] And I try to harmonize with songs

[00:02:57] The lonesome sparrow sings

[00:03:02] There are no kings inside the gates of eden

[00:03:13] The motorcycle black madonna

[00:03:17] Two-wheeled gypsy queen

[00:03:22] And her silver-studded phantom cause

[00:03:26] The gray flannel dwarf to scream

[00:03:30] As he weeps to wicked birds of prey

[00:03:34] Who pick up on his bread crumb sins

[00:03:39] And there are no sins inside the gates of eden

[00:03:49] The kingdoms of experience

[00:03:53] In the precious wind they rot

[00:03:58] While paupers change possessions

[00:04:02] Each one wishing for what the other has got

[00:04:06] And the princess and the prince

[00:04:09] Discuss what's real and what is not

[00:04:15] It doesn't matter inside the gates of eden

[00:04:25] The foreign sun it squints upon

[00:04:29] A bed that is never mine

[00:04:35] As friends and other strangers

[00:04:38] From their fates try to resign

[00:04:42] Leaving men wholly totally free

[00:04:46] To do anything they wish to do but die

[00:04:52] And there are no trials inside the gates of eden

[00:05:03] At dawn my lover comes to me

[00:05:06] And tells me of her dreams

[00:05:12] With no attempts to shovel the glimpse

[00:05:16] Into the ditch of what each one means

[00:05:19] At times I think there are no words

[00:05:23] But these to tell what's true

[00:05:29] And there are no truths outside the gates of eden
