I AND I
Words and Music by Bob Dylan from the 'Infidels' Album




(BPM: 76) INTRO



Been so long since a strange woman slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps how sweet must be her dreams
In another lifetime she must have owned the world or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit stream

I and I in creation where one's nature neither honours nor forgives
I and I one said to the other no man sees my face and lives

Think I'll go out and go for a walk
Not much happenin' in here nothing ever does
Besides if she wakes up now she'll just want me to talk
I got nothin' to say especially about whatever it was

CHORUS

Took an untrodden path once where the swift don't win the race
It goes to the worthy who can divine the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me to look into justice's beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

CHORUS

Outside are two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight
They're waiting for spring to come or for something to crack
The world could come to an end tonight but that's alright
She should still be there sleeping when I get back

CHORUS

Noon time and I'm still pushin' myself along the road, the darkest part
Into the narrow lanes I can't stumble or set foot
Someone's out to speakin' with my mouth but I'm listenin' only to my heart
I make shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot

CHORUS
