Handful of sand


Darling, when you sit up and stare all night
I get the feeling that something aint right
My heart starts to beat on my drum-tight skin
I just wanna kick it in
I know you start weeping when you think that Im sleeping
I know you know that you just cant win
But Ill try my best
You know honey I swear I will

Darling, you pretend to sleep but I know its a lie
This bed is wet from the tears you cry
I lie there frustrated, dont know what to do
Sometimes I cant get through to you
I know you cant explain whats giving you pain
And you just cant contain all your blues
But Ill try my best
You know that I have sworn I will

So now if you wanna come out and talk about it
Ill try to understand
If you wanna yell it, scream it, please shout it
And Ill try to understand
But for now you know I just cant stand
To see this sand
Slipping out of my hand

Darling, when you just cant take it anymore
Shout it out, now, tell me what youre crying for
Dont let it rage inside, that wont help you none
Be like staring into the barrel of a loaded gun
I will help you feel more self-assured
And even if it cuts to the core
Ill try to take it like a man
Yeah, Ill try my best
Honey I swear I will

So now if you wanna come out and talk about it
Ill try to understand
If you wanna yell it, scream it, please shout it
And Ill try to understand
But for now you know I just cant stand
To see this sand
Slipping out of my hand

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

John Wesley Harding is the stage name of Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan. The album "John Wesley Harding", released in 1967, marks a turning point in his musical career. After the explosion of folk rock and the social protests of the 1960s, Dylan moves away from more electric and engaged sounds to embrace a more introspective and minimalist country-folk style. The album features songs like "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" and "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", which reflect a more personal and poetic approach, with lyrics often dark and enigmatic. The influence of country music is evident in simple arrangements and catchy melodies. John Wesley Harding represents a transitional phase for Dylan, marking the beginning of a musical journey that will lead him to explore new genres and sounds.
