The Byrds (Bob Dylan)
Capo II
4x
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
rollin' high and mighty traps
Countless fire on flaming roads,
using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
"rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white,
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers,
foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
in the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats,
mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking,
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms,
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
4x
