Bob Dylan - When You Awake Lyrics
Ollie told me Im a fool. so iWalked on down the road a mile, went to the house that brings a smileSat upon my grandpas knee, and what do you think he said to me?(chorus:)When you awake you will remember evrything, you will beHangin on a string from your... when you believe, you will relieve the onlySoulThat you were born with to grow old and never knowOllie showed me the fork in the road.You can take to the left or go straight to the right,Use your days and save your nights,Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat,Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.(repeat chorus)Ollie warned me its a mean old world,The street dont greet ya, yes, its true;But what am I supposed to do:Read the writing on the wall,I heard itwhen I was very small.(repeat chorus)Wash my hand in lye water, I got a date with theCaptains daughter. you can go and tell your brother. we sure gonnaLove one another, oh! youMay be right and ya might be wrong, I aint gonna worry all day long.Snows gonna come and the frost gonna bite, my old car frozeUp last night. aint no reason to hang your head I could wake up in theMornin dead. oh! andIf I thought it would do any good, Id stand on the rock where moses stood.
