Robbie Robertson - When The Night Was Young

Robbie Robertson

When The Night Was Young

We headed straight south in a sundown light
On highway 61 through the delta night
We shared the backroads with cardsharks and grifters
Tent show evangelists and Luke the Drifter

What is lost what is missing
What's been gone way too long

We had dreams when the night was young
We were believers when the night was young
We could change the world stop the war
Never seen nothing like this before
But that was back when the night was young

Sign reads God Bless America guns and ammo
I'm not sure that's what He means
Sign reads repent the end is near
I'm not sure that's what we need

Get your heart beating in the right direction
That's when you make a real connection

We had dreams when the night was young
We were believers when the night was young
We could change the world stop the war
Never seen nothing like this before
But that was back when the night was young

Now Andy Warhol's in the hotel lobby
He's waiting for the late night muse
But she won't be back before morning
She's gone downtown to hear some blues

Like the sun rising out of the sea
It's how you embrace the mystery

We had dreams when the night was young
We were believers when the night was young
We could change the world stop the war
Never seen nothing like this before
But that was way back when the night was young

Mirror lyrics:

But that was way back when the night was young
Never seen nothing like this before
We could change the world stop the war
We were believers when the night was young
We had dreams when the night was young

It's how you embrace the mystery
Like the sun rising out of the sea

She's gone downtown to hear some blues
But she won't be back before morning
He's waiting for the late night muse
Now Andy Warhol's in the hotel lobby

But that was back when the night was young
Never seen nothing like this before
We could change the world stop the war
We were believers when the night was young
We had dreams when the night was young

That's when you make a real connection
Get your heart beating in the right direction

I'm not sure that's what we need
Sign reads repent the end is near
I'm not sure that's what He means
Sign reads God Bless America guns and ammo

But that was back when the night was young
Never seen nothing like this before
We could change the world stop the war
We were believers when the night was young
We had dreams when the night was young

What's been gone way too long
What is lost what is missing

Tent show evangelists and Luke the Drifter
We shared the backroads with cardsharks and grifters
On highway 61 through the delta night
We headed straight south in a sundown light
