Bob Dylan - Abandoned Love lyrics

I can hear the turning of the key I've been deceived by the clown inside of me. I thought that he was righteous but he's vain Oh, something's a-telling me i wear the ball and chain. My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost He's always off somewhere when i need him most. The spanish moon is rising on the hill But my heart is a-tellin' me i love ya still. I come back to the town from the flaming moon I see you in the streets, i begin to swoon. I love to see you dress before the mirror Won't you let me in your room one time 'fore i finally disappear? Everybody's wearing a disguise To hide what they've got left behind their eyes. But me, i can't cover what i am Wherever the children go i'll follow them. I march in the parade of liberty But as long as i love you i'm not free. How long must i suffer such abuse Won't you let me see you smile one time before i turn you loose? I've given up the game, i've got to leave, The pot of gold is only make-believe. The treasure can't be found by men who search Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church. We sat in an empty theater and we kissed, I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list. My head tells me it's time to make a change But my heart is telling me i love ya but you're strange. One more time at midnight, near the wall Take off your heavy make-up and your shawl. Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit? Let me feel your love one more time before i abandon it.
