I'm Not There

Things are crashing better, she's all too tight In my neighbourhood she cry both day and night It's a milestone but she's down on her luck Days make her so lonely and it's so hard to buck Now and then I believe that she'd stop him if she'd find time to care I believe that she may look upon decidin' whose to care And I go by the Lord, anywhere she's on my way But I don't belong there No, I don't belong to her, I don't belong to every choir She's my Christ-forsaken angel but she don't hear me cry She's a lone-hearted mystic and she can't carry on When I'm there she's all right, then she's not when I'm gone Heaven knows that the answer, she don't con no one She's the way forsaken beauty, she's mine for the one And I lost her hesitating 'bout temptation as it runs She don't harm me I'm not there, I'm gone Now I cried tonight, like I cried the night before And I'll feast on the highway but I'll dream about the door It's alone, she's forsaken by her fate, words to tell It don't have approximation, she is smiling fairly well Her smile is contagious, I was born to love her But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her And I run by the race but it's not too fast still But I've got the fever I'm not there I'm gone Well, it's all about diffusion as I cry for her veil I don't need anybody now beside me to tell And it's all affirmation, I'm asleep but it's not She's a lone-hearted beauty but she don't like the spot There she comes Yeah, she's gone like a rainbow that was shining yesterday But she's home now beside me and I'd like her to stay She's a lone forsaken beauty and she don't trust no one And I wish I was beside her but I'm not there I'm gone It's too hard to stay here and I don't want to leave It's so hard for so few, you see, but she's hard, too hard to me It's alone, it's a crime, the ways she mauls me around But she don't phone to hate me but it's time to make her crown Yes I believe that it's rightful, I believe it in my mind I've been told, like I said before, I'll carry on when I'm blind Yes , the soul gypsy told her, like I said, carry on And I wish I was there to help her but I'm not there I'm gone
