[00:00.00]The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar - Bob Dylan
[00:10.57]Prayed in the ghetto
[00:12.68]With my face in the cement
[00:14.88]Heard the last moan of a boxer
[00:17.17]Seen the massacre of the innocent
[00:19.62]Felt around for the light switch
[00:21.77]Turned around for her face
[00:23.89]Been treated like a farm animal
[00:26.22]On a wild goose chase
[00:28.54]West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar
[00:33.53]
[00:36.84]I see the turnin' of the page curtain risin' on a new age
[00:41.84]See the groom still waitin' at the altar
[00:45.73]
[00:55.98]Try to be pure at heart
[00:57.91]They arrest you for robbery
[01:00.09]Mistake your shyness for aloofness
[01:02.41]Your silence for snobbery
[01:04.70]Got the message this mornin'
[01:06.83]The one that was sent to me
[01:08.96]About the madness of becomin'
[01:11.07]What one was never meant to be
[01:13.26]West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar
[01:20.67]
[01:21.86]I see the turning of the page curtain risin' on a new age
[01:26.86]See the groom still waitin' at the altar
[01:30.86]
[01:40.22]Don't know what I can say about Claudette
[01:42.71]That wouldn't come back to haunt me
[01:44.90]Finally had to give her up
[01:46.83]'Bout the time she began to want me
[01:49.08]But I know God has mercy
[01:51.09]On them who are slandered and humiliated
[01:53.79]I'd a done anything for that woman
[01:55.96]If she'd only make me feel obligated
[01:58.67]West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar
[02:05.94]
[02:06.75]I see the turning of the cage curtain risin' on a new age
[02:11.50]See the groom still waitin' at the altar
[02:16.18]
[02:25.40]Put your hand on my head baby
[02:27.66]Do I have a temperature
[02:29.65]I see people who are supposed to know better
[02:32.04]Standin' around like furniture
[02:34.12]There's a wall between you
[02:36.13]What you want you got to leap it
[02:38.37]Tonight you got the power to take it
[02:40.57]Tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it
[02:43.13]West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar
[02:50.26]
[02:51.26]I see the turning of the page curtain risin' on a new age
[02:56.07]See the groom still waitin' at the altar
[03:00.81]
[03:09.87]Cities on fire
[03:12.19]Phones out of order
[03:14.06]They're killin' nuns and soldiers
[03:16.33]There's fightin' on the border
[03:18.51]What can I say about Claudette
[03:20.76]Ain't seen her since January
[03:22.93]She could be respectably married
[03:24.93]Or runnin' a whorehouse in Buenos Aires
[03:27.69]West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar
[03:34.99]
[03:35.74]I see the turning of the page curtain risin' on a new age
[03:40.54]See the groom still waitin' at the altar
