I’m walking through streets that are dead
Walking, walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
And the clouds are weepingDid I hear someone tell a lie?
Did I hear someone’s distant cry?
I spoke like a child; you destroyed me with a smile
While I was sleeping
This is indeed a GREAT version.

I’m sick of love but I’m in the thick of it
This kind of love I’m so sick of itI see, I see lovers in the meadow
I see, I see silhouettes in the window
I watch them ’til they’re gone and they leave me hanging on
To a shadowI’m sick of love; I hear the clock tick
This kind of love; I’m love sickSometimes the silence can be like the thunder
Sometimes I feel like I’m being plowed under
Could you ever be true? I think of you
And I wonderI’m sick of love; I wish I’d never met you
I’m sick of love; I’m trying to forget youJust don’t know what to do
I’d give anything to be with you

Nice. I’m not a big concertgoer. I’ve only seen Bob 8 times, but I was at this show and it was incredible, the best of all my Dylan shows, probably the best show I’ve ever been to by any artist. I’m sure a lot of that is the fact that I was literally about 12 feet from Dylan, at the back of a table that was pressed up against the stage. Bob was completely engaged and the band was perfect. The last 2 times I had seen him then was ’85 and ’88 and I wasn’t very impressed. But this was different. The word that describes it best is ALIVE. Don’t Think Twice was a revelation. This show pretty much triggered an obsession of collecting bootlegs, books, etc that was crazy for about 6 years, and hasn’t completely burned out yet. If anyone knows if there is a dvd of this show available I would certainly be interested.
