There was a Canadian movie I saw once, called something like "Hank Williams, the Concert He Never Gave", about Hank stopping in a little bar on his way to a major gig and performing....turning out to be the night he died. Never got much play, but I caught it on HBO, maybe 15 years ago. Wonderful little film!
Just Like A Woman
by Bob Dylan
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain.
Everybody knows
that baby's got new clothes,
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman.
She makes love just like a woman.
And then she aches just like a woman.
But she breaks just like a little girl.
Queen Mary, she's my friend.
Yes I believe I'll go see her again.
Nobody has to guess
that baby can't be blessed
'Till finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamines, and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman.
She makes love just like a woman.
And then she aches just like a woman.
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first,
and I was dying there of thirst,
So I came in here.
And your long-time curse hurts,
but what's worse
Is this pain in here.
I can't stay in here.
Ain't it clear...
That I just can't fit.
I believe it's time for us to quit.
But when we meet again,
introduced as friends,
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry, and it was your world.
You take just like a woman.
You make love just like a woman.
And then you ache just like a woman.
But you break just like a little girl. |
