yonder comes sin

Singer:bob dylan

you wanna talk to me

you got many things to say. you want the spirit to be speaking through

but your lust for comfort get in the way. i can read it in your eyes

oh

what your heart will not reveal. and that old evil burden has been draggin' you down

bound to grind you 'neath the wheel

yonder comes sin. yonder comes sin. look at your feet

see where they've been to. look at your hands

see what they been into. can't you take it on the chin?

yonder comes sin. you see this woman standin' next to me. she's foreign to your sight. well

her eyes may be a different colour than mine

but her blood is red and her bones are white. you've been seeking them eternal

spiritual things

but your fifty-dollar smile confirms

you're still tryin' to buy your way into the dreams of them

whose bodies will be food for worms. yonder comes sin. yonder comes sin. look at your feet

see where they've been to. look at your hands

see what they've been into. can't you take it on the chin?

yonder comes sin. i say: see them six wild horses

honey. you say: i don't even see one. you say: point them out to me

love. i say: honey i got to run. my brother's blood is crying from the grave

but you can't hear the voice. i stand in jeopardy every hour

wonderin' what reason you have to rejoice. yonder comes sin. yonder comes sin. look at your feet see where they've been to. look at your hands

see what they've been into. enough to put you to tail-spin. yonder comes sin. jeremiah preached repentance

to those that would turn from hell. but the critics all gave him such bad reviews. put him down at the bottom of a well. kept on talking anyway

as the people were put into chains. wasn't nobody there to say bon voyage"
