Truth For A Truth - Jakob Dylan

I’m up here somewhere so high and they climb

There’s too many people running loose in the mind

Now send us a king or someone else that can bring

Some order where otherwise everything is

Eye for an eye and truth for a truth

Here I lie, my arms around you

Yes you would be blind if you only knew

That it was eye for an eye and it’s truth for a truth

Now pack up your wagon, girl, and button your coat

Look up and see me coming out of smoke

There’s footprints of angels leaving tracks in the snow

I’m the last man, that sweetheart, you oughta know

When it’s eye for an eye and truth for a truth

Here I lie, my arms around you

Yes you would be blind if you only knew

That it was eye for an eye, it’s truth for a truth

Oh now it’s good to be hungry

The apple of somebody’s eye

Ain’t nothing so pretty in this terrible light

Now all hands on deck and all men to the tower

I’m a virtue-less man in the midnight hour

Oh now it’s junk on junk, this bed that we’ve made

Where I sleep like a horse standing up on the clay

I’ve got to be ready, so much hell to pay

And I’m guilty of loving you in the worst kind of way

And it’s eye for an eye, it’s truth for a truth

Here I lie, my arms around you

Yes you would be blind if you only knew

That it was eye for an eye, it’s truth for a truth

Here I lie, my arms around you

Where it’s eye for an eye and it’s truth for a truth

You’d be blind if you only knew

That it was eye for an eye and it’s truth for a truth
