Abandoned Love Lyrics - Bob Dylan

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 

That the Spanish moon is rising on the hill 

But my heart is a tellin' me I love you still 

I come back to the town from the flaming moon 

And I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon 

And 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 you 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 you but you're strange 

Photos 

Then 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
