Is your love in vain ?



Ecrite par Bob Dylan
Jouée en concert. Jamais publiée officiellement


Do you love me, or are you just extending goodwill ?
Do you need me half as bad as you say, or are you just feeling guilt ?
Cause I've been burned before and I know the score
So you won't hear me complain.
Will I be able to count on you
Or is your love in vain ?

Well, are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude ?
When I am in the darkness, well, why do you intrude ?
Do you know my world, do you know my kind
Or must I explain ?
Will you let me be myself
Or is your love in vain ?

Well I've been to the mountains and I've been in the wind,
I've been in and out of happiness.
I have dined with kings, I have been offered wings
And I've never been too impressed.

Oh, all right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
If I'm a fool you can have the night, and you can have the morning too.
Ah, but can you cook and sew, make flowers grow,
Do you understand my pain ?
Are you willing to risk it all
Or is your love in vain ?
