I Believe In You


( Lyrics And Music By Bob Dylan )

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through.
They look at me and frown,
and like to drive me from this town,
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe in you.

They show me to the door,
They say "don't come back no more"
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to,
And I, I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe in you.

I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter,
I believe in you even though we be apart.
I believe in you even on the morning after.
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart.

Don't let me drift too far,
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed.
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you.

I believe in you when a winter turn to the summer,
I believe in you when white turns to black,
I believe in you even though I be outnumbered.
Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back.

Don't let me change my heart,
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue.
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain
'Cause I believe in you.

The House Of The Rising Sun


There is a house in New Orleans,
They call The Rising Sun.
And it's been the ruin of manys a poor boy,
And God, I know I'm one.

My mother was a tailores
She sewed my new blue jeans
An' my father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans.

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
And the only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's down and drunk.

So mothers tell, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Not to spend their lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising sun.

I've got one foot on the platform
And another one on the train.
I'm going home to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call The Rising Sun.
And it's been the ruin of manys a poor boy,
And God, I know I'm one.

Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy
Poor, poor boy

Streets Of London


Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market
Kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride, hands held loosely by his side
Yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me, you're lonely
And say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand,
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me, you're lonely
And say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand,
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there, on his own
Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

So how can you tell me, you're lonely
And say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand,
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
