You're A Big Girl Now

(from Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International)
 Our conversation was short and sweet
 It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
 And I'm back in the rain, oh, oh,
 And you are on dry land.
 You made it there somehow
 You're a big girl now.
 Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence,
 He's singin' his song for me at his own expense.
 And I'm just like that bird, oh, oh,
 Singin' just for you.
 I hope that you can hear,
 Hear me singin' through these tears.
 Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
 Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
 I can change, I swear, oh, oh,
 See what you can do.
 I can make it through,
 You can make it too.
 Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,
 You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
 Oh, I know where I can find you, oh, oh,
 In somebody's room.
 It's a price I have to pay
 You're a big girl all the way.
 A change in the weather is known to be extreme
 But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?
 I'm going out of my mind, oh, oh,
 With a pain that stops and starts
 Like a corkscrew to my heart
 Ever since we've been apart.
