Is Your Love In Vain?

(Bob Dylan)

Are you just extending me good will
Do you need me half as much as you say
or are you just feeling ill
I've been there before
so I know the score
you won't hear me complain
Will I be able to count on you
or is your love in vain

Are you so aghast can you not see I must have solitude
When I'm in the darkness why must you intrude
do you know my world
do you know my cares or must I explain
Will you let me be myself
or is your love in vain

I've been up to the mountain
I've been lost in the wind
I've been out of happiness
I have dined with kings
and I've been up to things
but I really want to impress all right
I will take a chance
gonna fall in love with you
and if I'm a fool
you can take the night
you can take all my money too

Can you go can you sew
can you watch the flower grow
can you understand my pain
and are you willing to risk it all
or is your love in vain
[Bridge]
Can you cook can you sew
watch the flowers grow
can you understand my pain
and are you willing to risk it all
or is your love in vain.
