I Told You I Couldn't Stop

Jakob Dylan


In my mind's eye 
A plantation 
In the clearing 
Is a platform station 
Into the frontline 
Is how I'm coming 
They say in war 
All is fair 
I am headed 
To the fields 
In spite 
Of my condition 

(Chorus) 
Whatever you thought 
Whatever you thought 
You know I told you 
That I couldn't stop 
Whatever you thought 
Whatever you thought 
You know I told you 
That I couldn't stop 

Through the desert 
Out to the sea 
Weather-beaten through 
All four seasons 
There is love 
In my creation 
I've come back 
For all 
The right reason 
That ain't your castle 
You're not a queen 
That isn't yours 
You're so busy 
There protecting 

(Chorus) 

All this beauty's 
Sticky sweet 
This naughty world is due 
For a good deed 
Give me your poor tired 
Huddled masses 
Bring me 
The head of a mule 
And my glasses 
Sing that lonesome 
High melody 
Rumble young man 
But rumble behind me 

(Chorus)
