Farewell Angelina (Bob Dylan) Farewell Angelina the bells off the crown Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound The triangle jingles and the trumpets play slow Farewell Angelina, the sky's on fire, and I must go There's no need for anger, there's no need for blame There's nothing to prove, everything still the same Just the table standing empty by the edge of the sea Means farewell Angelina, the sky is falling, and I must leave The jack and the queen had forsaken the courtyard Fifty two gypsies now file passed the guards In the space where the deuce and the ace runs ran wild Farewell Angelina, the sky is falling, I'll see you in a while See the roadside pirates sit cursing the sun Shooting tin can with a sawed-off shot gun And the neighbours they clap and they cheer with each blast But farewell Angelina, the sky's changing colour, and I must leave fast King-Kong lead louds on the roof top they dance Valentino type tangos while they make upman's hands Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarass anyone But farewell Angelina, the sky's embarassed, and I must be gone The machine guns are roaring and the puppet she wracks (rocks?) And fling nails time bombs to the hands of the clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it But farewell Angelina, the sky's erupting, I must go where it's quiet Copyright Bob Dylan.
