Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight-Bob Dylan
Just a minute 'fore you leave girl
Just a minute 'fore you touch the door
What is it that you're trying to achieve girl
Do you think we can talk about it some more
You know the streets are filled with vipers
Who've lost all ray of hope
You know it's not even safe no more
In the palace of the Pope
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's just a memory
Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be
And I need you yeah
Come over here from over there girl
Sit down here you can have my chair
I can't see us goin' anywhere girl
The only place open is a thousand miles away
And I can't take you there
I wish I'd have been a doctor
Maybe I'd have saved some life that had been lost
Maybe I'd have done some good in the world
'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's just a memory
Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be
And I need you oh yeah
I ain't too good at conversation girl
So you might not know exactly how I feel
But if I could I'd bring you to the mountaintop girl
And build you a house made out of stainless steel
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting
That's a hanging in the Louvre
My throat starts to tickle and my nose itches
But I know that I can't move
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's gone but the past live on
Tomorrow's just one step beyond
And I need you oh
Who are these people that are walking towards you
Do you know them or will there be a fight
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through
Can they tell you what's wrong and what's right
Or do you remember St James Street
Where you blew Jackie P's mind
You were so fine Clark Gable would have fell at your feet
And laid his life on the line
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste girl
No more booby traps and bombs no more decadence and charm
No more affection that's misplaced girl
No more mud cake creatures lying in your arms
What about that millionaire
With the drumsticks in his pants
He looks so baffled and so bewildered
When he played and we didn't dance
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's just a memory
Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be
And I need you yeah you ah I need you
