Rachel & I went to see the new Bob Dylan movie “The complete unknown” last night of which I throughly enjoyed although Bob did come across as a bit of an arse at times. But anyway I was having a strum and thought I’d try and write a song in the style of early Bob. Here it is live from the cellar recorded with one mic.

        Love 

I stood by my window
When I first heard a her sing
my thoughts Took flight
I was suddenly on the wing

Flying high up through the sky
Suddenly I was dancing above the clouds
I nearly touched the sun
Before falling down

I was in love with that voice I’d heard up there in the clouds
I stood on top of the hillside but that hillside
came tumbling down

Unlucky in love
I brushed myself right down
I started on my travels
to see how big the world was around

I walked many a hillside
but never did find love
I can’t say I was looking
That first time was enough

Now instead of love
I’d found adventure running through my bones
I still climbed those hillsides but the hillsides leave me alone

Must have have gone to every country
in this great big world
Before coming home
And realising I didn’t have to go anyhere at all

I’d left my heart at home
Just run away thats all
So I picked it up
and stopped acting like a fool

I Went and found that girl
now we both sing the same song
I got her hand in marriage
Now I can love her
all day long

I’m flying high
We’re always singing songs
I love that lady
Now I know where I belong

My heads no longer in the clouds
My feet are firmly on the ground
I’ve stopped acting the fool
Ive finally calmed down

I’m in love with that voice I heard in the clouds
I’m stood on top of the hillside
And hillsides
not tumbling down

That works!! Pretty much nailed it. And it's got me into the mood to listen to the early Bob Dylan albums again.

Saved!
