Good car to drive, after a war

these are the 2 versions on file in the EDLIS Archives.

you will note, as often happens, the words published under the auspices
of Mr. Dylan and presumably okayed are infact often different from the ones
we actually get to hear in the recordings.

Dylan quotes the Humphrey Bogart film "Maltese Falcon" in which is said "I
don't care who loves who...maybe you love me and maybe I love you." From
the same film, Dylan quotes "Don't look for me, I'll see you" word for word.

If you look out across the fields, see me returning.
Smoke is in your eyes, you draw a smile.
>From the fireplace where now my letters to you are burning,
You've had time to think about it for a while.

I've walked two hundred miles, now look me over.
It's the end of the chase and the moon is high.
It don't matter who loves who.
Either you'll love me or I'll love you
When the night comes falling from the sky.

I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting.
Sorrow covers you up like a cape.
Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting
With disaster that you somehow managed to escape.

Well, I can't provide for you no easy answers.
Who are you that I should have to lie?
You know everything, my love.
Down below and up above.
When the night comes falling from the sky.

I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river.
And recently you thought you'd seen it all.
But you're disappointed now in those who did not deliver.
But it was you who set yourself up for a fall.

I've seen thousands who could have overcome the darkness,
For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die.
Stick around, baby, we're not through,
Don't look for me, I'll see you.
When the night comes falling from the sky.

In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection.
Luck was with me when I crossed the borderline.
I don't want to be a fool that's starving for affection.
I don't want to drown in someone else's wine.

For all eternity I think I will remember
That whirlpool of light that's in your eye.
You will seek me and you'll find
Me in the wasteland of your mind.
When the night comes falling from the sky.

Well, I gave to you my heart like buried treasure
But suffering seems to fit you like a glove
I'm so tired of those who use forbidden pleasure
Who think they've got a monopoly on love

Well, this time I'm asking for freedom,
Freedom from a world which you deny.
And you'll give it to me now,
I'll take it anyhow.
When the night comes falling from the sky.

You'll know all about it, love,
It'll fit you like a glove
When the night comes falling from the sky.

I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river,
You must have been protecting someone last time I called.
I've never asked you for nothing you couldn't deliver,
I've never asked you to set yourself up for a fall.

I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness,
For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die.
Stick around, baby, we're not through,
Don't look for me, I'll see you
When the night comes falling from the sky.

In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection,
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line.
I don't want to be a fool starving for affection,
I don't want to drown in someone else's wine.

For all eternity I think I will remember
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
You will seek me and you'll find me
In the wasteland of your mind
When the night comes falling from the sky.

Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter
But you were gambling for support.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better
When my memory is not so short.

This time I'm asking for freedom,
Freedom from a world which you deny.
And you'll give it to me now,
I'll take it anyhow
When the night comes falling from the sky.
