lirik lagu bob dylan - isis (live at the montreal forum, 12/4/75)

here’s a song about marriage
this is called ‘isis’
this is for leonard, if you’re still here

[verse 1]
i married isis on the fifth day of may
but i could not hold on to her very long
so i cut off my hair and i rode straight away
for the wild unknown country where i could not go wrong

[verse 2]
i came to a high place of darkness and light
the dividing line ran through the center of town
i hitched up my pony to a post on the right
went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down

[verse 3]
a man in the corner approached me for a match
i knew right away he was not ordinary
he said “are you looking for something easy to catch?”
said “i got no money, man,” he said “that ain’t necessary”

[verse 4]
wе set out that night, for the cold in the north
i gavе him my blanket, and he gave me his word
i said “where are we going?” he said we’d be back by the fourth
i said “that’s the best news that i’ve ever heard”
[verse 5]
i was thinking about turquoise, i was thinking about gold
i was thinking about diamonds, and the world’s biggest necklace
as we drove through the canyons, through the devilish cold
i was thinking about isis, how she thought i was so reckless

[verse 6]
she told me that one day we would meet up again
things would be different, the next time we wed
if i only could hang on and just be her friend
i still can’t remember all the best things she said

[verse 7]
we came to the pyramids, all embedded in ice
he said, “there’s a body i’m trying to find
if i carry it out it’ll bring a good price”
’twas then that i knew what he had on his mind

[verse 8]
well, the wind, it was a~howlin’, and the snow was outrageous
we chopped through the night, and we chopped through the dawn
when he died, i was hopin’ that it wasn’t contagious
but i made up my mind that i had to go on

[verse 9]
i broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty
there was no jewels, no nothing! i felt i’d been had
when i saw that my partner was just being friendly
when i took up his offer, lord, i must have been mad
[verse 10]
i picked up his body and i dragged him inside
threw him down in the hole, and i put back the cover
i said a quick prayer, then i felt satisfied
then i went back to find isis, just to tell her i love her

[verse 11]
she was there in the meadow, where the creek used to rise
blinded by sleep, and in need of a bed
i came in from the east, with the sun in my eyes
i cursed her one time, then i rode on ahead

[verse 12]
she said “where you been?”
i said “no place special”
she said “you look different”
i said “well, i guess”
she said “you’ve been gone”
i said “that’s only natural”
she said “you going to stay?”
i said “if you want me to, yes”

[verse 13]
isis, oh, isis, you mystical child
what drives me to you is what drives me insane
i still can remember the way that you smiled
on the fifth day of may in the drizzling rain
