The seasons they are turnin' and my sad heart is yearnin'
To hear again the songbird's sweet melodious tone
Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?
The dusky light, the day is losing
Orchids, poppies, black-eyed Susan
The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone
Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?
The air is thick and heavy
All along the levee
Where the geese into the countryside have flown
Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?
Well, I'm preachin' peace and harmony
The blessings of tranquility
Yet I know when the time is right to strike
I'll take you 'cross the river dear
You've no need to linger here
I know the kinds of things you like
The clouds are turnin' crimson
The leaves fall from the limbs an'
The branches cast their shadows over stone
Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?
The boulevards of cypress trees
The masquerades of birds and bees
The petals, pink and white, the wind has blown
Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?
The trailing moss and mystic glow
Purple blossoms soft as snow
My tears keep flowing to the sea
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
It takes a thief to catch a thief
For whom does the bell toll for, love? It tolls for you and me
My pulse is runnin' through my palm
The sharp hills are rising from
The yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan
Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

Here is what the maker of all this wrote: (a big thank you to him)
A LostChords compilation, 2006
"As for myself, I had nothing against pop songs [...] I loved songs like 'Without A Song', 'Ol' Man River', 'Stardust'
and hundreds of others"
Bob Dylan, Chronicles, p. 81
"Sinatra, Peggy Lee, yeah, I love all these people, but I tell you who I've really been listening to a lot lately -
in fact I'm thinking about recording one of his earlier songs - is Bing Crosby, I don't think you can find better
phrasing anywhere."
Bob Dylan, 1985 (Mikal Gilmore Interview)
This collection tries to show Bob Dylan's roots in Mainstream popular music, as opposed to Blues & Folk. I have included
covers - pre war Pop music, 50s ballads and crooner Country - as well as those of Dylan's own songs that are in one way
or another influenced by this music.
Two more volumes including covers like "Soon", "Answer Me", "More And More" as well as Dylan songs like "Floater",
"One More Night", "Tell Me that It Isn't True" etc. are in preparation.
Most of the information here is of course available elsewhere, I tried to put it all together in one place.
Many thanks to Stew in Scotland for creating the artwork!
