[ti:Every Grain Of Sand] [ar:Bob Dylan] [al:The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Every Grain Of Sand - Bob Dylan [00:13.17]In the time of my confession in the hour of my deepest need [00:20.72]When the pool of tears beneath my feet floods every newborn seed [00:28.97]There's a dying voice within me reaching out somewhere [00:37.55]Toiling in the danger and the morals of despair [00:45.57]Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake [00:53.76]Like Cain I now behold this chain of events that I must break [01:01.82]In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand [01:10.00]In every leaf that trembles in every grain of sand [01:19.80]Oh the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear [01:27.73]Like criminals they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer [01:35.84]The sun beams down upon the steps of time to light the way [01:43.89]To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay [01:51.70]I gaze into the doorway of tempation's angry flame [01:55.25] [01:59.46]And every time I pass that way I'll always hear my name [02:07.32]Then onward in my journey I come to understand [02:15.25]That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand [02:28.79]I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night [02:36.77]In the violence of a summer's dream in the chill of a wintry light [02:44.51]In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space [02:52.14]In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face [02:59.94]I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea [03:07.68]Sometimes I turn there's someone there other times it's only me [03:15.29]I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man [03:23.22]Like every sparrow falling like every grain of sand
