Something's Burnin Baby Songtext

von Bob Dylan

Something is burnin, Baby are you aware?
Something is the matter, Baby there's smoke in your hair.
Are you still my friend, Baby show me a sign,
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?

You've been avoiding the main streets for a long long while,
The truth that I'm seeking is in your missing file.
What's your position, Baby what's going on?
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?

I know everything about this place, or so it seems,
But am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Well, its so obvious that something has changed,
What's happening, Baby to make you act so strange?

Something is burnin, Baby, here's what I say,
Even the bloodhounds of London couldn't find you today.
I see the shadow of a man makin you blue;
Who is he baby and what's he to you,

We've reached the edge of the road, Baby Where the pasture begins,
Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins.
Where do you live and where is the light?
Why are your eyes just staring off in the night?

I can feel it in the night, the night, the night, when I think of you,
In the light, the light, the light, and it's gotta be true,
You can't leave by bread alone and be satisfied,
You can't roll away the stone when your hands are tied.

Got to start someplace, Baby, can you explain,
Please don't fade away on me like the midnight train.
Answer me, Baby, a casual look will do
Just what in the world has come over you?

I can feel it in the wind, the wind, the wind,
And its upside down,
I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town.
I've had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve,
I don't wanna see you bleed,
I know what you need and it ain't what you deserve.

Something is burnin, Baby, somethings in flames,
There's a man going round calling out names.
Ring down when you're ready,
Baby I'm waiting on you,
I believe in the impossible you know that I do
