[00:00.00] 作词 : Dylan
[00:04.04]Of war and peace the truth just twists
[00:08.07]Its curfew gull just glides
[00:14.20]Upon four-legged forest clouds
[00:18.01]The cowboy angel rides
[00:23.94]With his candle lit into the sun
[00:27.94]Though its glow is waxed in black
[00:34.02]All except when 'neath the trees of Eden
[00:39.68]
[00:44.27]The lamppost stands with folded arms
[00:48.22]Its iron claws attached
[00:54.03]To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
[00:58.12]Though it shadows metal badge
[01:02.98]All and all can only fall
[01:05.96]With a crashing but meaningless blow
[01:12.08]No sound ever comes from the Gates of Eden
[01:17.46]
[01:22.18]The savage soldier sticks his head in sand
[01:27.14]And then complains
[01:31.82]Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf
[01:36.65]But still remains
[01:40.25]Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
[01:43.66]At ships with tattooed sails
[01:49.43]Heading for the Gates of Eden
[01:54.15]
[01:59.55]With a time-rusted compass blade
[02:03.32]Aladdin and his lamp
[02:09.59]Sits with Utopian hermit monks
[02:13.41]Side saddle on the Golden Calf
[02:17.12]And on their promises of paradise
[02:20.51]You will not hear a laugh
[02:26.75]All except inside the Gates of Eden
[02:31.94]
[02:36.57]Relationships of ownership
[02:40.00]They whisper in the wings
[02:45.93]To those condemned to act accordingly
[02:49.26]And wait for succeeding kings
[02:53.71]And I try to harmonize with songs
[02:56.96]The lonesome sparrow sings
[03:02.57]There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden
[03:08.07]
[03:13.58]The motorcycle black madonna
[03:17.26]Two-wheeled gypsy queen
[03:22.63]And her silver-studded phantom cause
[03:26.42]The gray flannel dwarf to scream
[03:30.26]As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
[03:34.23]Who pick up on his bread crumb sins
[03:39.41]And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
[03:44.50]
[03:49.03]The kingdoms of Experience
[03:53.34]In the precious wind they rot
[03:59.12]While paupers change possessions
[04:02.14]Each one wishing for what the other has got
[04:06.90]And the princess and the prince
[04:09.28]Discuss what's real and what is not
[04:15.73]It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden
[04:21.06]
[04:26.11]The foreign sun, it squints upon
[04:29.34]A bed that is never mine
[04:35.50]As friends and other strangers
[04:38.59]From their fates try to resign
[04:43.15]Leaving men wholly, totally free
[04:46.48]To do anything they wish to do but die
[04:52.80]And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden
[04:58.14]
[05:03.39]At dawn my lover comes to me
[05:06.96]And tells me of her dreams
[05:12.61]With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
[05:16.21]Into the ditch of what each one means
[05:20.27]At times I think there are no words
[05:23.60]But these to tell what's true
[05:29.30]And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden
[05:34.70]
