Bob Dylan Lyrics

Album: BLONDE ON BLONDE

Temporary Like Achilles Lyrics

Standing on your window honey

 Yes, I've been here before

 Feeling so harmless

 I'm looking at your second door

 How come you don't send me no regards ?

 You know I want your lovin'

 Honey, why are you so hard ?

 

 Kneeling 'neath your ceiling

 Yes, I guess I'll be here for a while

 I'm trying' to read your portrait, but

 I'm helpless, like a rich man's child

 How come you send someone out to have me barred ?

 You know I want your lovin'

 Honey, why are you so hard ?

 

 Like a poor fool in his prime

 Yes, I know you can hear me walk

 But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime

 Or is it just solid rock ?

 

 Well, I rush into your hallway

 Lean against your velvet door

 I watch upon your scorpion

 Who crawls across your circus floor

 Just what do you think you have to guard ?

 You know I want your lovin'

 Honey, but you're so hard.

 

 Achilles is in your alleyway

 He don't want me here

 He does brag

 He's pointing to the sky

 And he's hungry, like a man in drag

 How come you get someone like him to be your guard ?

 You know I want your lovin'

 Honey, but you're so hard.
