Expecting Rain

Call your Ma in Tallahassee
Tell her her baby's on the line.

I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted desert
In your busted down Ford and your platform heels
I could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet

Maybe someday you will understand

What happens tomorrow
Is on your head, not mine

I can finish this alone honey
You're driftin' too far from shore

You will be alright, girl,
Someone's watchin' over you.

I will be back, I will survive
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive

I didn't know that you'd be leavin'

I'll call you tomorrow if there's phones where I am

just like I did before.

Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down

There’s no excuse for you to say that we don’t think alike

I don’t remember who I was or where I was bound

Just like you always said.

Down these streets the fools rule

I always thought you were straight.

this might be your last

Foul! Foul! ... oldmanemu, how could you?!

I'm calling the Moderators on you! While I like Dylan's '80s work as much as the next guy, the thread is clearly titled, Conversation Using Only Knocked Out Loaded Lyrics and using a quote from a song not included on that lovely album is a violation of the good nature and intent of this thread. You should apologize to the entire Expecting Rain community for such an offense because we have held you in such high regard. If you want to use quotes from songs other than Knocked Out Loaded there is another thread for that. I am so disappointed in you... You have become like a Judas to me... a traitor...

Maybe someday you’ll have nowhere to turn
You’ll look back and wonder ’bout the bridges you have burned
You’ll look back sometime when the lights grow dim
And you’ll see you look much better with me than you do with him
Through hostile cities and unfriendly towns
Thirty pieces of silver, no money down
Maybe someday, you will understand
