Lyrics:
The air is getting hotter
There’s a rumbling in the skies
I’ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before
I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
When I was in Missouri
They would not let me be
I had to leave there in a hurry
I only saw what they let me see
You broke a heart that loved you
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore
I’ve been walking that lonesome valley
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

The older I get....the more I understand these lyrics....

[@johnlarrazabal7494]

So true

[@paulhammer1363]

When I listen to this, I think it's Dylan's greatest song, until I listen to another Dylan song.

[@dwocelot6913]

"When you think that you've lost everything You find out you can always lose a little more"

[@jasondylansargent2195]

Who can right a line like that no one but Dylan 🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍😄

[@JosémanuelFernandez-e5p]

Esas son las mejores frases de la canción,las más duras y cuando pone más fuerza

[@patrickeurolingua6896]

Very true. We never stop thinking how badly off we are and never realizing how good we have it. And to be careful not to destroy it.

[@navmanshack1579]

@@paulhammer1363 It's certainly been lifted from somewhere, but with Dylan, It's never about a single line, it's the concoction of beauty unfolding before you. The world-weary sneer, the Ornette Coleman approach to harmonica and imagery that rivals Rimbaud. But then again, he says so much with so little. "I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary Jane, Miss Mary Jane got a house in Baltimore." I've never taken a ride in a buggy, I sure as hell have never been near Baltimore yet I feel I know exactly what he means.

[@MaxPower-if3yz]

Noone combines lyrics, theme and music quite as masterly as Bob Dylan.

[@whailenwade8253]

"Time Out of Mind" has to be my favorite Dylan album. It received awards in 1998, one award being album of the year.

[@TM-vq1bf]

It is probably my favorite album.

[@QuakerPop]

It's almost as good as blood on the tracks, but perhaps not quite. Love and Theft is also equally amazing

[@jmdixon7984]

i think it was 97 but still...it beat OK Computer (Radiohead) which is still also one of the greatest albums of all time. the man is simply genius. this song in particular breaks my heart in all the best ways ❤️

[@johnlarrazabal7494]

I agree.... love this album....

[@NevadaBoss]

One of The Master's many many masterpieces. His Bobness--accept no substitutes.

[@akankshadash7129]

This will be played on Bob Dylan's funeral

[@GregoryJWalters]

And when you Think you've Lost Everything, you find out you can Lose a Little more....Indeed.

"They tell me everything's gonna be alright, I don't know what alright even means". I've been there.

[@jillschoenfeldwhite5534]

Nobel Prize quality prose poem put to a beautiful, haunting melody. This song is so personally touching.

[@philpinckley1720]

One of the most beautiful songs ever

[@michaelbolding9877]

I agree

[@richardgreen62]

It sends shivers down my spine ..I love Bob and is poetry

[@herbertluthe6850]

'trying to get to heaven before they close the door'. good thinking.

[@skovner]

Inspired by the Yom Kippur Neilah service, when we try to get our prayres accepted before the closing of the Gates of Heaven at the end of Yom Kippur.

The air is getting hotter There's a rumbling in the skies I've been wading through the high muddy water With the heat rising in my eyes Every day your memory grows dimmer It doesn't haunt me like it did before I've been walking through the middle of nowhere Tryin', tryin' to get to heaven before they close, close the door When I was in Missouri They would not let me be I had to leave there in a hurry I only saw what they let me see You broke a heart that loved you Now you can seal up the book, you don't have to write anymore I've been walking that lonesome valley Tryin', tryin' to get to heaven before they close, close the door People on the platforms Waiting for the trains I can hear their hearts beatin' Like pendulums swinging on chains When you think that you've lost everything You find out you can always lose a little more I'm just going down the road feeling bad Tryin', tryin' to get to heaven before they close, close the door 🎵🎶🎵🎶 I'm going down the river Down to New Orleans They tell me everything is gonna be all right But I don't know what "all right" even means I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary-Jane Miss Mary-Jane got a house in Baltimore I been all around the world, boys Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door Gonna sleep down in the parlour And relive my dreams I'll close my eyes and I wonder If everything is as hollow as it seems Some trains don't pull no gamblers No midnight ramblers, like they did before I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door

[@simon_g_hill]

I love the vibe of this song.... So easy to listen to but still hard to define

[@alias2364-t9y]

Ever since Bob's voice change, on John Wesley Harding and onwards, i have appreciated he just allows his vocals to just ....be.

[@stone4173]

Absolutely fantastic, Bob at his best. You broke a heart that loves you know you can seal up the book and not write anymore, stunning lyrics

[@elainerpennekamp-pg6mp]

I believe you are going to Heaven, Mr. Dylan

[@corneliakapelinski]

Love that song with a touch of gallows humour - heard in so many arrangements but that song never loses meaning..It's always a highlight

[@stephengaydos4346]

Lucinda Williams does a great cover of this song worth a listen.

Sheer Musical Genius.

[@rinadupreez9956]

WHAT A TRACK! Haven't heard this in ages. LOVE LOVE LOVE 🌹

[@oleggorky906]

Even the great Bob Dylan has to contemplate his own mortality, here and in It's Not Dark Yet. It gives me a bit of peace as I get older; I also am trying to get to heaven, before they close the door.

[@gdpcpa]

Oleg, I hope you know that heaven is a free gift, no works will get you there. There is only one way, one truth..... and it is not by your effort.

[@oleggorky906]

@@gdpcpa Yes, I know. It was just a pondering upon a song, not to be taken too literally - hyperbolic.

[@alexfredericks]

Some songs say it so well all you can do is listen

[@stevefaure415]

After a really muddled 80s and early 90s Bob has had a great late-inning rally. Such a great song, as inventive as anything he's done. It took him a little while but her found his mature voice.

[@petersmith9530]

He produced some of ny favourite albums in the 80s and 90s but i agree Time Out Of Mind is on another level

[@richardgreen62]

Love this track one of the best

[@teresahosler4869]

I’m going to post this again… but I was going thru an old CD case and ran across Time Out Of Mind. I thought I had won the lottery. Pulled it out of the case and turned it over. Didn’t have a scratch on it. Played it 3-4 times over and over.. without a single commercial..

My sister "got it" from this song a short time before she passed.

[@KAH61]

I did not listen to Dylan when I was young. I did not even like him. It was something with his sharp voice I think and also that a lot of people hade the opinion that one SHOULD like Dylan, otherwise one lacked a good taste for music. But 2005 (I think it was) I was forced to listen to this album over and over and over again in a workingplace in Sweden where the boss worshiped Dylan and after that summer I was enchanted by Dylan and this album. This song is one of my favorites. Sentimental. Sad. Human. I can see before me the old american landscape he travels through in this song both from the outside and inside. At least imagine it.

[@willempie54]

Could you explain the meaning of this sentenco to me, as a non English native speaker?

[@briteness]

@@willempie54 I take it to mean that he has been around and enjoyed his share of worldly pleasures. In particular, I would say he is talking mostly about women, but it is open to a broader interpretation. I like the fact that the line is evocative without being too specific, which would also account for why it might not translate to another language in an obvious way.
