Lyrics:
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

I've been listening to this for over 30 years now, yet another moment of genius that never found an album. Bob's collected outtakes are better than most artists careers.

[@carlogsa]

I have a story about this song,,,,somewhere around 1973. I was in prison in France..Fleury Merogis. I was in for hash and didn't know when I would get out...totally and completely in love with my Danish wife. I had my own cell and spent 22 hours a day alone there with 1 hour in the morning and 1 in the afternoon on the yard. In my cell there was little box that was used to communicate by the screws and also played French radio during the day.....out of nowhere this song came on the radio and I had my ear up next to it...the worse part of prison for me was I was away from her and I didn't know if I would ever be with her again.....I was completely overwhelmed with sadness and cried .

[@Benarmar]

I'm a huge Dylan fan. I've seen him live twice and there will certainly be one more concert. The best concert of my life was Dylan almost 100% acoustic in Nimes in the Roman Colosseum. I was there with my siblings, my parents and my girlfriend. I've never felt so good. We all sat on the warm stones of the Colosseum. I think that was the last time everything was okay. I know Dylan from my parents and I have a very close relationship with Dylan's songs. My father passed away in July 2022 and my mother in July 2023. February 2024 my girlfriend left me after 20 years of relationship. We have 2 young children... I don't think I'll ever have such a safe and wonderful feeling again as I did at this concert. Enjoy every moment with the people around you. Everything is finite and at some point there will be no more! Kind regards my Friends

[@Justlookingmostly]

My dad played Dylan all my young life. This song makes me feel him around me still. Thanks Bob Dylan. Rest in peace dear old Dad.

There was a time not too long ago when audiences were quiet and respectful and didn't have to yell woohoo every 2 seconds and applaud after every line to show everyone they "get it", but mostly to to bring attention to themselves.

One of his best songs, and this is coming from a huge Dylan fan.

[@thesinisterdistrictpodcast]

One of too many*

[@calebbasile2219]

This is basically Boots of Spanish leather. Which is another bombshell of a song, I’d argue even better than this. The song Sara about his looming divorce with his beloved wife is my favorite. You’re a big girl now, a few songs in blood on the tracks rival his earlier work. He wrote all along the watch tower, a hard rain is gonna fall. I’m a long time Dylan fan and I don’t know that this is his best song, it is really just a subjective thing anyway.

[@ambivalentrants]

The greatest song written about longing, loneliness and love. Could say that about a dozen or more Dylan songs. He is not a mortal.

[@blissfulbaboon]

This is a true gem of a song. It's the sincere emotional confession of the loneliness and deep longing for connection that makes it come so alive in our hearts.

[@preoccupied4800]

This song reaches in, takes out your pain and gives it words

[@elizabethscrimgeour6608]

People look down on shows, movies, tiktok, etc. for being the first place many of us hear music others have enjoyed for years. What does it matter, how we come to music as long as we do? This is how young people fall in love with music from the past and keep it going.

[@jackcope3113]

There's something hypnotic about this song. I don't think there's any other artist that can capture the mood of the everyday person like Dylan with his everyday voice. The best songwriter in my opinion.

[@psychkosys]

I'm here because I'm thinking of who I lost through my own stupidity and what this song meant to us. Now the words mean so much more being in regret than being in love.

[@jorgeespinosa3179]

Decades ago, when Hits Vol II came out, this version of the song stood out so loudly. Phenomenal song, even Elvis took a crack at it.

[@douglashall322]

I think this may be his most beautifully written and performed song

[@raulmacias5735]

This lovely and passionate song was recorded "Live" at Town Hall, New York City, New York on April 12,1963. It was first released as a "B" Side to "If Not For You" in 1970.

[@rickeebobasoski3299]

And what about Lennon and McCartney and a few others were alright. Dylan was all you wrote and more and I like how compassionate you are about him. But you do mean he held the music world in the palm of his hand not the general public.

[@OldDominion1000]

@Raindeer Projekt Seriously? C'mon, man. Yes, this song is a masterpiece. No, Dylan doesn't deserve the pedestal you or anyone else puts him on. He was a fraud. He took one of the purest forms of music and hijacked it for his own gain. He was a fraud and liar. "The most important recorded voice"? I threw up all over my desk when I read that. What about Woody (whom Dylan tried to copy right down to the tiniest little detail because he had no sense of self) or Seeger, or any number of actual authentic voices that stood for something. Dylan didn't and doesn't stand for anything but capitalism. He did write some great songs while he was fooling everyone, though, I have to give him credit for that.

[@jeremyellismusic]

The genius of this lyric for me is that this is all something he'd do, but there is something currently in the way. I asked my son today what this song feels like. He is 6. His answer is that it feels like you are on the highway on the way to something but it's far away. Man, I love that kid, but I digress...That is exactly what this song is for me. A love that you remember, that you want, but is for some reason so distant at this moment; but there is comfort even in having felt such a thing and the possibility of experiencing it again.

[@Silent_Spaces]

Such a gorgeous intimate performance. I was sure this was a studio recording when I first heard it since it is played in near silence. When the applause started, it really surprised me! He wrote so many tender love songs around this time.. 'Boots of Spanish Leather', 'One too many mornings', 'Girl from the North Country'..

Dylan is pretty open about his reuse of melodies. Doesn't make it any less magical though.

[@berachtdorian6191]

Yes, but "Seven Curses" doesn't reduce you to a weeping wreck by expressing the anguish of being uncontrollably apart from the one that your very heart beats for.
