Tin Angel - Bob Dylan

parole da studiare

It was late last night when the boss came home

To a deserted mansion and a desolate throne

Servant said: “Boss, the lady’s gone

She left this morning just ‘fore dawn.”

“You got something to tell me, tell it to me, man

Come to the point as straight as you can”

“Old Henry Lee, chief of the clan

Came riding through the woods and took her by the hand”

The boss he lay back flat on his bed

He cursed the heat and he clutched his head

He pondered the future of his fate

To wait another day would be far too late

“Go fetch me my coat and my tie

And the cheapest labour that money can buy

Saddle me up my buckskin mare

If you see me go by, put up a prayer” (The Boss)

Well, they rode all night, and they rode all day

Eastward, long down the broad highway

His spirit was tired and his vision was bent

His men deserted him and onward he went

He came to a place where the light was dull

His forehead pounding in his skull

Heavy heart was racked with pain

Insomnia raging in his brain

Well, he threw down his helmet and his cross-handled sword

He renounced his faith, he denied his lord

Crawled on his belly, put his ear to the wall

One way or another put an end to it all

He leaned down, cut the electric wire

Stared into the flames and he snorted the fire

Peered through the darkness, caught a glimpse of the two

It was hard to tell for certain who was who

He lowered himself down on a golden chain

His nerves were quaking in every vein

His knuckles were bloody, he sucked in the air

He ran his fingers through his greasy hair

They looked at each other and their glasses clinked

One single unit, inseparably linked

“Got a strange premonition there’s a man close by” (Henry Lee)

“Don’t worry about him, he wouldn’t harm a fly” (The Wife)

From behind the curtain, the boss he crossed the floor

He moved his feet and he bolted the door

Shadows hiding the lines in his face

With all the nobility of an ancient race
