If today was not a crooked highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'
I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
George, I've listened to Dylan playing his own song. You, though, had me crying...really. It wasn't just the words, it was your playing, your voice, your gentle way bubbling through the music that did it.
Bob texts are always beautiful, they almost never tell a cohesive story, but are more a stream of consiousness with lines that fits a theme.
whoever needs more George Clements in their life, search for the Lonely Heartstring Band. You're VERY welcome:)
George, thank you for posting these covers, they are truly inspiring.
Thanks a lot fot the tip ! It's right, we never have enough George Clements on our life ! and I've seen that he has a double ! incredible :) It's amazing to see his twin brother just next to him !
You can see him with Andy Cambria too : a great duo ! ua-cam.com/video/cMOIhQXnekY/v-deo.html
@@NeoSeveune that'd brautiful! Thank you for that.
Re his twin. Yes! And according to his website they should have an album coming out soon of their own music.
Beautiful song. Your playing and singing appear effortless but perfectly, gently controlled and precise.
Again, for me you are the best cover artist on UA-cam without question.
I just posted that same comment on his cover of Vincent. He has the clearest voice on UA-cam. He sounds so much like James Taylor and his guitar playing is impeccable.
Will you record an acoustic album of these songs? I think it's a brilliant idea and will take full credit when you finally get it done. :)
Tengo 64 años, de los cuales 50 he estado escuchando a Dylan y tocando sus canciones. Yo te digo amigo que eres muy bueno, muy bueno, muy bueno. Gracias por expresarlo.
What an incredible cover! Keep playing and sharing, brother!
I love the tone of your voice!! You sound like Simon and Garfunkel and Bob and even Don McLean mashed together! Stellar cover! 👍
Its like young James Taylor singing a Dylan song...you're really good bud!
I love this. I particularly liked your walk down to the relative minor and your use of the fifth. You definitely out did mine! Good job George
Bob Dylan songs are just amazing. Always better when sung by someone else (in my opinion). Such lyricism and beauty. Now this song has new life breathed into it. Another amazing cover by a true artist of voice and strings. I just love envy video you post. Thank you again. Delightful.
My thoughts exactly. Bob could really create the poetry and the melodic beauty but I haven't gotten to the point of enjoying his delivery. I discovered this song by hearing Nickel Creek cover it- very beautiful, you should hear it. Then I learned it was Bob's creation by hearing a cover by Judy Collins; just awful, unrecognizable except I recognized the words. I guess it depends on the listener's preference.
@@bw1841 I totally agree. Bob is such a talented poet and songwriter but it seems that it needs others to bring his creations to life and present them fresh and allow us to delight in their beauty afresh each time. Thanks for the reply. We are on the same wavelength.
@@davidsquonkbreeds8568 Ha ha I love that. He has his own ...unique nasal quality I guess. George however, is the real deal!
Bob would be in awe. Flawless, tender delivery as the song was intended to be. Thank you for sharing.
Your music creeps deep into my battered heart and awaken the longing, that everything will finally be fine..Thank you so much, George 🧡
Great version. I’ve always loved this song ever since I heard Elvis sing it.
Amazing music! What a smooth voice, it sounds like you came from the early 70s music scene, very reminiscent of John Denver and other 70s pop/folk singers. And such clear tones on the guitar. Beautiful. Thank you for this.
This was great as expected. You knock it out of the park on every cover you've done.
I don’t know who wrote this but it brings Erik Anderson to mind. Beautiful!
I’ll say it as simply as I can: you’re incredible. No words.
You have the voice of angel. Thank you for sharing your talent, heart and music.
Your fingerstyle looks SO effortless! GREAT job
Brother you are amazing. Everything is on point, from the perfect guitar and beautifully vocals. Thank you so much for you amazing art! My GOD bless you and you love ones.
Who is this guy and where has he been hiding all those years? Perfect.

Looking for songs to add to a playlist to listen to on my TV as I go to sleep. I searched up this song to add it, saw your video and decided to click on it out of curiosity. Honestly more aesthetically pleasing than the original, and I love the original. I decided to add your cover to my sleep playlist instead of the original. Great job man.
Great voice 👍

My city (Gaza) is getting bombed rn and hearing this soothed my soul from the anxiety I am having fearing I'll just die at any certain moment. Thanks

So sorry you are going through that, please take care
Love for you and for your brothers
Best to you, friend. 💙
