You’re a Big Girl Now (9/16/74, take 1 – solo) Songtext
von Bob Dylan

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
