Offering - A COLORS SHOW

One of the many impressive things about this 1964 Dylan classic (from the album 'Another Side of Bob Dylan')  is the way the fifth line changes key on the guitars but stays the same on the vocal. So you get a very pretty and poignant change of mood but no change in the determination of the statement. Yet the song is as tender as it is (characteristically) caustic despite its broadside of complaints and triumphant rejection in the chorus.  Not a song the recipient would enjoy, we think. A joy to sing and play though.


WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN
 Go ’way from my window
 Leave at your own chosen speed
 I’m not the one you want, babe
 I’m not the one you need
 You say you’re lookin’ for someone
 Never weak but always strong
 To protect you an’ defend you
 Whether you are right or wrong
 Someone to open each and every door
 But it ain’t me, babe
 No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe
 It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe
 
 Go lightly from the ledge, babe
 Go lightly on the ground
 I’m not the one you want, babe
 I will only let you down
 You say you’re lookin’ for someone
 Who will promise never to part
 Someone to close his eyes for you
 Someone to close his heart
 Someone who will die for you an’ more
 But it ain’t me, babe
 No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe
 It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe
 
 Go melt back into the night, babe
 Everything inside is made of stone
 There’s nothing in here moving
 An’ anyway I’m not alone
 You say you’re lookin' for someone
 Who’ll pick you up each time you fall
 To gather flowers constantly
 An’ to come each time you call
 A lover for your life an’ nothing more
 But it ain’t me, babe
 No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe
 It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe
