Lay Lady Lay

The ipod dialed up this gem at an opportune moment last night (and speaking of gems, this youtube video is of vinyl on a record player -- it's pretty sweet).

It may be hard to find good renditions of his songs on youtube, but man, I love the poet in Dylan and I love it when he sings about my experiences. The only lyric I need to slightly change up to match my own reality is that it's my big brass bed and not my man's -- otherwise, it's all you Bob:

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine.

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen.

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile

Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you.

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead.
