Temporary Like Achilles lyrics

by Bob Dylan

Standing on your window, honey,
Yes, I`ve been here before.
Feeling so harmless,
I`m looking at your second door.
How come you don`t send me no regards?
You know I want your lovin`,
Honey, why are you so hard?

Kneeling `neath your ceiling,
Yes, I guess I`ll be here for a while.
I`m tryin` to read your portrait, but,
I`m helpless, like a rich man`s child.
How come you send someone out to have me barred?
You know I want your lovin`,
Honey, why are you so hard?

Like a poor fool in his prime,
Yes, I know you can hear me walk,
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime,
Or is it just solid rock?

Well, I rush into your hallway,
Lean against your velvet door.
I watch upon your scorpion
Who crawls across your circus floor.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
You know I want your lovin`, Honey, but you`re so hard.

Achilles is in your alleyway,
He don`t want me here,
He does brag.
He`s pointing to the sky
And he`s hungry, like a man in drag.
How come you get someone like him to be your guard?
You know I want your lovin`,
Honey. but you`re so hard.
