With your mercury mouth in the missionary times And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes And your silver cross and your voice that chimes Oh who do they think could bury you? With your pockets will protected at last And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass And your flesh like silk and your face like glass Who could they get to carry you? Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums Should I put them by your gate? Oh sad eyed lady should I wait With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace And your basement clothes and your hollow face Who among them did think he could out guess you? With your silhouette when the sunlight dims Into your eyes where the moonlight swims And your matchbook songs and your gypsy hymns Who among them would try to impress you? Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums Should I put them by your gate? Oh sad eyed-lady should I wait?- Bob Dylan
