Love Sick is the first track of Dylan’s 30th studio album, Time Out of Mind. It was a wild success in Japan, and a single was released ten months after the release of the album in 1997. That year he performed the song at The Grammys.
Despite being an autobiographical song about love, misery, aging...
[Verse 1]
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Walking, walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping
[Verse 2]
Did I hear someone tell a lie?
Did I hear someone's distant cry?
I spoke like a child, you destroyed me with a smile
While I was sleeping
[Chorus 1]
I’m sick of love
But I'm in the thick of it
This kind of love
I'm so sick of it
[Verse 3]
I see, I see lovers in the meadow
I see, I see silhouettes in the window
I watch them till they're gone and they leave me hanging on
To a shadow
[Chorus 2]
I'm sick of love
I hear the clock tick
This kind of love
I'm lovesick
[Verse 4]
Sometimes the silence can be like the thunder
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Could you ever be true? I think of you
And I wonder
[Chorus 3]
I'm sick of love
I wish I'd never met you
I'm sick of love
I'm trying to forget you
[Outro]
Just don’t know what to do
I'd give anything to be with you
Love Sick was written by Bob Dylan.
