Текст песни Standing in the Doorway (Version 2) - Bob Dylan

Well, I'm walking through the summer nights
The jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was going too fast
Today it's moving too slow

Too many silver spoons
Too much salt in my wounds
Don't know if I saw you if I would kiss you or kill you
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow

You left me standing in the doorway, crying
Nothing to go back to now

The light in this place is really bad
Making me sick in the head
All the laughter is just making me sad
Even the stars have turned cherry red

I'm strumming on my gay guitar
I'm smoking a cheap cigar
Well, the ghost of our old love has not gone away
It don't look it like it will anytime soon

You left me standing in the doorway, crying
Under the midnight moon

Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't
But not tonight and it won't be here
They all said I'm right
Told me, but they don't
Mercy of God must be near

And I always mean so much
Even the softest touch
I'd be crazy if I took you back again
It would go up against every rule

You left me standing in the doorway, crying
Suffering like a fool

When the last rays of daylight go down
But you don't roll no more
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard
And I wonder who they're ringing for
Dark pass me by
Give me liberty or let me die
Last night I was dancing with a stranger
But she just reminded me that you were the one

You left me standing in the doorway, crying
In the dark land of the sun

I'll eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm dry
And live my life on the square
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
I know someone will be there to care

Been riding long the midnight train
That has water in my vein
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
There's no words that need to be said

You left me standing in the doorway, crying
With the blues wrapped around my head
