Racing the Sundown

Bob Dylan - Huck’s Tune

Just when I think I’ve got a handle on Dylan’s vast catalog I stumble across a gem like this one that I’ve never heard. Fucking great track… classic Dylan:

Well I wandered alone,
through a desert of stone,
and I dreamt of my future wife.
My sword’s in my hand,
and I’m next in command,
in this version of Death called Life.
My plate and my cup,
are right straight up,
I took a rose from the hand of a child.
When I kiss your lips,
the honey drips,
I’m gonna have to put you down for a while.
