Can't Wait (Alternate version #1) Lyrics

I can't wait, wait for you to change your mind.
I can't wait, waiting is just making me go blind.
Do you ever lay awake at night, your faced turned to the wall?
Drowning in your thoughtlessness and cut off from it all?
I don't know, maybe for you, it's not that late.
But as for me, don't know how much longer I can wait.

It's got to end, everything about it just feels wrong.
I pretend being close to her is where I don't belong.
Well my back is to the sun because the light is too intense.
I can see what everybody in the world is up against.
I'll stay here where I can feed a hand of fate.
And I don't know how much longer I can wait.

Skies are gray, life is short and I think of her a lot.
I can't say if I want the pain to end or not.
Well the blindness overtaking me is beating like a drum.
I don't know where it starts or where it's coming from.
That's how it is when I try to concentrate.
And I don't know how much longer I can wait.

I been drinking, drinking forbidden juices.
I been living, living on lame excuses.

My hands are cold, the end of time has just begun.
I'm gettin' old, anything can happen now to anyone.
I walk all across the floor until I wear out my shoes.
When you think you've lost it all, there's always more to lose.
I'm so clear, she can keep my head up straight.
And I don't know how much longer I can wait.

Glad this is posted. It's one of Dylan's best songs. Kind of a shame he didn't leave the thing like this, huh?
