Chimes of Freedom

Columbia Studios

The Another Side Of Bob Dylan session, produced by Tom Wilson.

First released on ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN, 8 August 1964.

Far between sundown’s finish an’ midnight’s broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
An’ for each an’ ev’ry underdog soldier in the night
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

An’ coverin’ the crossroads I’m standing at
Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that
But mama, you are just on my mind.

The Another Side Of Bob Dylan session, produced by Tom Wilson.

First released on ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN, 8 August 1964.

Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin’ high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps
“We’ll meet on edges, soon, ” said I, proud ‘neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now
