Bob Dylan ~ The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar


Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement, Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent Felt around for the light switch, became nauseated. She was walking down the hallway while the walls deteriorated. East of the jordan, hard as the rock of gibraltar, I see the burning of the page, curtain risin' on a new age, See the groom still waitin' at the altar. Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery, Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery, Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me About the madness of becomin' what one was never meant to be. West of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar, I see the burning of the stage, Curtain risin' on a new age, See the groom still waitin' at the altar. Don't know what i can say about claudette that wouldn't come back to haunt me, Finally had to give her up 'bout the time she began to want me. But i know god has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated. I'd a-done anything for that woman if she didn't make me feel so obligated. West of the jordan, west of the rock of gibraltar, I see the burning of the cage, Curtain risin' on a new stage, See the groom still waitin' at the altar. Put your hand on my head, baby, do i have a temperature? I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture. There's a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it, Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won't have the power to Keep it. West of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar, I see the burning of the stage, curtain risin' on a new age, See the groom still waitin' at the altar. Cities on fire, phones out of order, They're killing nuns and soldiers, there's fighting on the border. What can i say about claudette? Ain't seen her since january, She could be respectably married or running a whorehouse in buenos aires. West of the jordan, west of the rock of gibraltar, I see the burning of the stage, Curtain risin' on a new age, See the groom still waitin' at the altar. more free lyrics

Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement,
Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent
Felt around for the light switch, became nauseated.
She was walking down the hallway while the walls deteriorated.

East of the jordan, hard as the rock of gibraltar,
I see the burning of the page, curtain risin' on a new age,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.

Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery,
Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
About the madness of becomin' what one was never meant to be.

West of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage,
Curtain risin' on a new age,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.

Don't know what i can say about claudette that wouldn't come back to haunt me,
Finally had to give her up 'bout the time she began to want me.
But i know god has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated.
I'd a-done anything for that woman if she didn't make me feel so obligated.

West of the jordan, west of the rock of gibraltar,
I see the burning of the cage,
Curtain risin' on a new stage,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.

Put your hand on my head, baby, do i have a temperature?
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
There's a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it,
Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won't have the power to
Keep it.

West of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage, curtain risin' on a new age,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.

Cities on fire, phones out of order,
They're killing nuns and soldiers, there's fighting on the border.
What can i say about claudette?
Ain't seen her since january,
She could be respectably married or running a whorehouse in buenos aires.

West of the jordan, west of the rock of gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage,
Curtain risin' on a new age,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
