bob dylan - crossing the rubicon lyrics

[verse 1]
i crossed the rubicon on a 14 day
of the most dangerous month of the year
at the worst time, at the worst place
that’s all i seem to hear
i go to berlin
so i can greet the goddess of the dawn
i’ve been in my wagon, abandon all hope
and i crossed the rubicon

[verse 2]
well, the rubicon is a red river
goin’ gently as she flows
rather than your ruby lips
and our blood that flows from the rose
three miles north of purgatory
one step from the great beyond
i prayed to the cross, i kissed the girls
and i crossed the rubicon

[verse 3]
what are these donkeys i see?
in this world so badly [?]
how can i relieve the time?
the times so idly spent
how much longer can it last?
how long can it go on?
i embrace my love
put down my hair
and i crossed the rubicon
[verse 4]
i can feel the bones beneath my skin
and they’re tremblin’ with rage
i’ll make your wife a widow
you’ll never see who it is
show me one good man in sight
as the sun shines down upon
upon my watch, i paid my debts
and i crossed the rubicon

[verse 5]
put my height up on a hill
where some happiness i’ll find
if i survive, then let me love
let the hour be mine
take the high road
take the low
take a, any one you’re on
i poured a cup
i passed it along
and i crossed the rubicon

[verse 6]
well, you defiled the rose, lovely flower
and i live womanhood
oh, the skin be tolerant
oh, the skin be good
i catch you up before the crooked knife
lord, that i miss ya
what are you, gone?
i stood between heaven and earth
and i crossed the rubicon
[verse 7]
you won’t find any happiness here
no happiness or joy
go back to the gutter, try your luck
find you some nice philly boy
tell me how many men i need
and who’s in our [?]
i stabbed my belt, i b+ttoned my coat
and i crossed the rubicon

[verse 8]
i feel the holy spirit inside
see the light that freedom gives
i believe it’s in the reach of
ever’ man who lives
keep as far away as possible
as dark as for the dawn
(oh no) i tear the key and broke it off
and i crossed the rubicon

[verse 9]
mornin’ baby, i used to look my mind
i truly believe that you are
couldn’t be anybody else but you who’s come with me this far
they’re k!llin’ fosters underground
honey, how the leaves are gone
i lived the torture, looked at the east
and i crossed the rubicon
