Forgetful heart
Lost your power of recall
Every little detail
You don’t remember at all
The times we knew
Who would remember better then you
Together with “Long And Waste Years”, “Forgetful Heart” has also been a constant highlight @ shows when included.

Forgetful heart
We laughed and had a good time you and I
It’s been so long
Now you’re content to let the days go by
When you were there
You were the answer to my prayer
12 good Bob Dylan covers done by some incredible women
We like cover versions here at alldylan.com, and here are some really great examples. They are not better than the originals, but they are different and they are good.
Dylan’s response to all the media excitement was to wear a ludicrous wig and a ridiculous false beard. There was a reason for this, he had been wearing them to tape a music video for a Civil War film – Gods and Generals – but nevertheless even with that explanation it was quite a bizarre appearance. This did mean that, handily enough, although Bob was for once open to photographers taking his picture, they could only take a snap of a man in a false wig and a false beard.

As quoted above “Bob was for once open to photographers taking his picture”, so there are lots of pictures available using a google image search.
I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away
This is a minor song in Dylan´s canon, nevertheless a lovely piece of art. It´s highly interesting to listen to different live versions from different eras… here´s a taste.
