Welcome to Songs of Experience: A Bob Dylan Podcast, where we explore the man and the music one song at a time. This episode Henry completes the set of Bob Dylan Fan Club founders with Caroline Schwarz, discussing Spirit On The Water from 2006's Modern Times.
Spirit on the water Darkness on the face of the deep I keep thinking about you baby I can’t hardly sleep I’m traveling by land Traveling through the dawn of day You’re always on my mind I can’t stay away I’d forgotten about you Then you turned up again I always knew That we were meant to be more than friends When you are near It’s just as plain as it can be I’m wild about you, gal You ought to be a fool about me
Can’t explain The sources of this hidden pain You burned your way into my heart You got the key to my brain I’ve been trampling through mud Praying to the powers above I’m sweating blood You got a face that begs for love Life without you Doesn’t mean a thing to me If I can’t have you I’ll throw my love into the deep blue sea Sometimes I wonder Why you can’t treat me right You do good all day Then you do wrong all night
When you’re with me I’m a thousand times happier than I could ever say What does it matter What price I pay They brag about your sugar Brag about it all over town Put some sugar in my bowl I feel like laying down I’m pale as a ghost Holding a blossom on a stem You ever seen a ghost? No But you have heard of them I hear your name Ringing up and down the line I’m saying it plain These ties are strong enough to bind
I been in a brawl Now I’m feeling the wall I’m going away baby I won’t be back ’til fall High on the hill You can carry all my thoughts with you You’ve numbed my will This love could tear me in two I wanna be with you in paradise And it seems so unfair I can’t go back to paradise no more I killed a man back there You think I’m over the hill You think I’m past my prime Let me see what you got We can have a whoppin’ good time
