| Notes: | Written and recorded by Bob Dylan in 1964, this introspective folk song captures feelings of restlessness, distance, and reflection. The song features Dylan's characteristic poetic imagery and explores themes of emotional separation and being "a thousand miles behind." It's a contemplative piece perfect for quiet moments and acoustic performance. |
CDown the streets the dogs are Ambarkin'
And theFday is a-gettin' Cdark
CAs the night comes in a-fAmallin
The doFgs'll lose their baGrk
CAnd the silent night will Amshatter
From the Fsounds inside my mCind
CFor I'm one too many mAmornings
And a Fthousand Gmiles Cbehind
CFrom the crossroads of my doorAmstep,
My eyesFthey start to fadCe,
CAs I turn my head back toAmthe room
Where Fmy love and I have Glaid.
CAn' I gaze back to the strAmeet,
The sidewFalk and the sign,C
CAnd I'm one too many mAmornings
An' a Fthousand Gmiles Cbehind.
CIt's a restless hungry feelingAm
That doFn't mean no one noCgood,
CWhen ev'rything I'm a-sayAmin'
You caFn say it just as goGod.
CYou're right from your sidAme,
I'm rightFfrom miCne.
CWe're both just one too many Ammornings
An' a Fthousand Gmiles Cbehind.
