David Bowie – Song For Bob Dylan Lyrics  Share

From David Bowie's album: Hunky Dory

(Bowie)

Oh, hear this Robert Zimmerman
I wrote a song for you
About a strange young man
called Dylan
With a voice like sand and glue
His words of truthful vengeance
They could pin us to the floor
Brought a few more people on
And put the fear in a whole lot more

Ah, Here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes again
The same old painted lady
From the brow of a superbrain
She^,ll scratch this world to pieces
As she comes on like a friend
But a couple of songs
From your old scrapbook
Could send her home again

You gave your heart to every bedsit room
At least a picture on my wall
[ Song For Bob Dylan lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/d/david-bowie/song-for-bob-dylan/ ]
And you sat behind a million pair of eyes
And told them how they saw
Then we lost your train of thought
The paintings are all your own
While troubles are rising
We^,d rather be scared
Together than alone

Ah, Here she comes...etc.

Now hear this Robert Zimmerman
Though I don^,t suppose we^,ll meet
Ask your good friend Dylan
If he^,d gaze a while
down the old street
Tell him we^,ve lost his poems
So they^,re writing on the walls
Give us back our unity
Give us back our family
You^,re every nation^,s refugee
Don^,t leave us with their sanity

Ah, Here she comes....etc.
