Wallflower (Alternate Version, 1971) - Bob Dylan

Six by six, from wall to wall Shutters on the windows, no light at all Damp on the floor you got damp in the bed They're trying to get you crazy get you out of your head They feed you scraps and they feed you lies To lower your defenses, no compromise There's nothing you can do, the day can be long You mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong Hold on, hold on, hold on, Hold on, hold on, hold on They put you in a box so you can't get heard Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred Hold on, you have gambled with your own life You faced the night alone While the builders of the cages Sleep with bullets, bars and stone They do not see the road to freedom That you build with flesh and bone They take you out the light burns your eyes To the talking room it's not surprise Loaded questions from clean white coats Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath They tell you how to behave, behave as their guest You want to resist them, you do your best They take you to your limits, they take you beyond For all that they are doing there's no way to respond Hold on, hold on They put you in a box so you can't get heard Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred Hold on, you have gambled with your own life You face the night alone While the builders of the cages Sleep with bullets, bars and stone They do not see the road to freedom That you build with flesh and bone Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here And I will say to you, I will do what I can do You may disappear, you're not forgotten here And I will say you you, I will do what I can do And I will do what I can do I will do what I can do

(Ingwe idla ngamambala, ingwe idla ngamambala) (Ingwe idla ngamambala, ingwe idla ngamambala) (Ingwe idla ngamambala) Digital clouds in the distance, come on Floating on memories that glisten, on and on Mountains rising like spires, high up Remember who sparked the fire, like the sun And I never meant to tell you everything was golden And why do we dance around the things we never tried? And I can only put together what is broken The sky will never cast a shadow on my mind Midnight Signals are ringing above We are ready and willing to feel love Blowing puffs into the pillars of light Going back to New Cydonia tonight And I wonder if I'll ever brighten up my weather Whenever I'm in New Cydonia And I know you won't remember memories in ember Lighting up the night And I never meant to tell you everything was golden And why do we dance around the things we never tried? And I can only put together what is broken The sky will never cast a shadow on my mind (Ingwe idla ngamambala, ingwe idla ngamambala) (Ingwe idla ngamambala, ingwe idla ngamambala) (Ingwe idla ngamambala)

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler I'm a long way from my home If the people don't like me They can leave me alone Come sit down beside me Come sit down right here Come sit down, love, I want you Love you boldly, so dear When you get to Wyoming A letter you'll see If you get into trouble Just you write and tell me For I once had a lover Her age was sixteen She's a flower of velvet and the rose of Celine Her parents was against me Now she is the same If I write on your book, love Just you blot out my name Oh there's changes in the ocean There's changes in the sea There's changes in my true love There's no change in me
