Cold Irons Bound Lyrics by Bob Dylan

Cold Irons Bound Lyrics

    I'm beginnin' to hear voices and there's no one around
    I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown
    I went to church on Sunday as she passed by
    And my love for her has taken such a long time to die
    Well, I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist
    It's almost like, almost like, I don't exist
    I'm twenty miles out of town, Cold Irons bound.

    Well, the walls of pride are high and wide
    Can't see over to the other side
    It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
    It's sadder still to feel your heart turn away
    One look at you and I'm out of control
    Like the universe has swallowed me whole
    I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.

    There's too many people, too many to recall
    I thought some of 'em were friends of mine, I was wrong about 'em all
    Well, the road is rocky and the hillside mud
    Up over my head, nothing but clouds of blood
    I found my world, found my world in you
    But your love just hasn't proved true
    I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound
    Twenty miles out of town, Cold Irons bound.

    Well the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
    Reality has always had too many heads
    Some things last longer than you think they will
    Some kind of things you can never kill
    Though it's you, and you only, I'm singin' about
    But you can't see in and it's hard looking out
    I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.

    Well, the fat's in the fire and the water's in the tank
    Well, the whiskey's in the jar and the money's in the bank
    I tried to love and protect you because I care
    I'm gonna remember forever the joy we've shared
    Looking at you and I'm on my bended knee
    You've no idea what you did to me
    I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound
    Twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.
