Bob Dylan › Lyrics › I and I

Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleep, how free must be her dream
In another lifetime she must have owned the world or been faithfully wed
To some righteous King who wrote psalms beside moonlit stream

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honor nor forgive
I and I
One said to the other, "No man see my face and live"

I think I'll go out and go for a walk
Not much happening here, nothin' ever does
If she wake up now, you know she'll just want me to talk
I got nothin' to say specially about whatever was

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honor nor forgive
I and I
One said to the other, "No man see my face and live"

Outside of two men on a train tracks, there nobody in sight
And they're waiting for spring to come, smokin' down the track
The world could come to an end tonight but that's all right
She should still be there sleeping when I get back

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honor nor forgive
I and I
One said to the other, "No man see my face and live"

Noontime and I'm still on the road on the darkest path
Into the narrow lanes, oh I can't stumble or stay put
Someone else is speaking with my mouth
But I'm listening only to my heart
I made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honor nor forgive
I and I
One said to the other, "No man see my face and live"
