Lyrics of
I'm Not There

Ev'ry thing's all right and then she's
all the time in my neighborhood
She cries both day and night
I know it 'cause she was there
It's a milestone
but she's down on her luck
And the day makes her lonely
and it's so hard to buck
I was there
I believe that she'd stop him
Where she once stopped to care
I believe that she'd look upon
beside 'em and care
And I'd go by her now and she's on my way
But I don't belong there
No I don't belong to her
I don't belong to anybody
She's my prize forsaken angel
But she don't hear me cry
She's a lone-hearted mystic
And she can carry on
When I'm there, she's all right
But she's not when I'm gone
Heaven knows she's the answer
she don't call on no one
She's a wave, a thing of beauty
she's mine for the one
And I'm not hesitating
by temptation lest it runs
But she don't follow me
but I'm not there, I'm gone
Now I'll cry tonight
Like I cried the night before
And I'll feast on her eyes but
I'll dream about the door
So long, Jesus, savior
Blind faith worth to tell
It don't have consolation
she's my love far thee well
Her smile is contagious
I was born to love her
But she knows that the kingdom waits
so high above her
And I run but I race
but it's not too fast or soon
I'll try and not deceive her
I'm not there, I'm gone
It's all about confusion
and I cry for her pale
I don't need anybody now
beside me to tell
Cause it's all affirmation
I've received but it's not
I wish I was beside
but I'm not there I'm gone
Yes, she s gone like
