B / Bob Dylan / The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar
Prayed in the ghetto With my face in the cement Heard the last moan of a boxer Seen the massacre of the innocent
Felt around for the light switch Felt around for her face Been treated like a farm animal On a wild goose chase
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turning of the page Curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waitin' at the altar
Try to be pure at heart They arrest you for robbery Mistake your shyness for aloofness Your shyness for snobbery
Got the message this morning The one that was sent to me About the madness of becomin' What one was never meant to be
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turning of the page Curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waitin' at the altar
Don't know what I can say about Claudette Wouldn't come back to haunt me Finally had to give her up 'Bout the time she began to want me
But I know God has mercy On them who are slandered and humiliated I'd a-done anything for that woman If she'd only make me feel obligated
West of the Jordan, west of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turning of the page Curtain rising on a new age See the groom still waitin' at the altar
Put your hand on my head, baby Do I have a temperature? I see people who are supposed to know better Standin' around like furniture
There's a wall between you What you want and you got to leap it Tonight you got the power to take it Tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turning of the page Curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waiting at the altar
Cities on fire Phones out of order They're killing nuns and soldiers There's fighting on the border
What can I say about Claudette? Ain't seen her since January She could be respectably married Or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires
West of the Jordan, west of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turnin' of the page Curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waiting at the altar
