I And I - Bob Dylan, Tom Petty

Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed

Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams

In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed

To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams

I and I

In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

I and I

One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives

Think I’ll go out and go for a walk

Not much happening here, nothing ever does

Besides, if she wakes up now, she’ll just want me to talk

I got nothing to say, specially about whatever was

I and I

In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

I and I

One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives

Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don’t win the race

It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth

Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice’s beautiful face

And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

I and I

In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

I and I

One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives

Outside of two men on a train platform there’s nobody in sight

They’re waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track

The world could come to an end tonight, but that’s all right

She should still be there sleepin' when I get back

I and I

In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

I and I

One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives

Noontime, and I’m still pushing myself along the road, the darkest part

Into the narrow lanes, I can’t stumble or stay put

Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I’m listening only to my heart

I’ve made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot

I and I

In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

I and I

One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
