Everly Brothers, The - Abandoned Love Lyrics
I can see the turning of the key
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
I thought that he was right but he's afraid
But something's telling me, I wear the ball and chain
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
But my heart is telling me I love you still
Everybody's wearing a disguise
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
But me, I can't cover what I am
Wherever the children go I'll follow them
I march in the parade of liberty
How long must I suffer such abuse
Won't you let me see your smile before I turn you loose
I've given up the game, I've got to leave,
The pot of gold is only make-believe.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
We sat in an empty theatre and we kissed,
I asked you please to cross me off your list
My head tells me it's time to make a change
But my heart is telling me I love you but you're strange
So one more time at midnight, near the wall
Take off your heavy make-up and your shawl
Won't you come down from the throne of where you sit
Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it
I come back to the town from the flaming moon
I see you in the streets I begin to swoon
I love to see you dress before the mirror
Won't you let me in your room one time, before I finally disappear

Love this version by the everly brothers. Way better then Dylan's version...
I wouldn't go that far but I enjoy this version. I prefer George Harrison's version most though.
2 voices always sound better than one.
Sir Frankie Crisp George Harrisons is ok but not as good as Dylan’s or this one.
Marina schamehorn ,Bob dylan the master of poetry and song ,many have followed on singing his songs ,I love Phil +don singing this song their Harmonys on this song beautiful ,rip Phil+don , you may be gone but ur music and harmonys live on ,👏👏👏👏☀🌈🎸✌👍🎸🌈🌹🎼✌👌✊💝☝
Love the Everlys. Brings a feeling of my Celtic roots. Bob, Phil, and Don. Touches so deeply.
Nice version!! Smooth
Tbh I can't believe this has 15 dislikes.
I disliked it.
To those 15 people who dislike Bob dylons songs ,I'd dread to listen to what u play ,shame on you 😬😬😬
@James Freeman your a disgrace insulting intelligent good listenable music,you must be a person of no intelligence 😠😡😬,
Awesome !
Excellent version, there's very few who can match the Everly harmonies.
Nice cover by Philip Donnelly out there as well 😊🎸
Simply BEAUTIFUL🌹🌹🌹
lifeless
Paul Rogers ana Nils Logfren. End of,,,,,.Dylan true genius
George Harrison's is by far the best cover of this great song.xx
Yes...your right
The original on biograph is by far the best
Couldn't argue if I wanted to.
The original Dylan one is way better with the violin for me.
And the two gorgeous twin sisters on her left and right. It was by far the best looking rock group I ever saw back in 1965. One of those twins died of natural causes while she was still young and beautiful in 1970, and the other from cancer in 1994. Only age 44. Mary is still alive and in her 60's. You can see PICs of them in LONG LIVE OUR LOVE and YOU CHEATED YOU LIED on You Tube.
The Everly Brothers were Mary Weiss first concert she went to. It was many other peoples first band that they saw in a concert. Mary was the great lead singer of the Shangra'La's. When I saw those girls on TV when I was 15 I was overwhelmed by their beauty, Mary in the middle
hey, I know people hate it when someone does that, but nothing ventured - nothing gained, so if you like songs by Mr.D, check out my version of this larger than life song. Thanks and take care!
São os pais dos Beatles Olha o vocal
Superb as is anything the brothers did.
Jo Pritchard I would agree to that!
They add an Irish tint. ;)
Wow, these guys are still singing. Good for them.
Also covered by George Harrison.
Nice try, But only Dylan can sing Dylan.
He is coming out with a new album "Dylan- What The Hell Is He Saying?"
Love the Everly brothers doing this song sound way better then Dylan..
What about Hendrix? what about Richie Havens? How about the Byrds? btw Dylan himself had recognized that Richie Haven's version of his songs are his favorites and that all along the watch tower , even though he wrote it, belonged to Hendrix
Only George can sing Dylan.
Try telling that to Columbia records. It belonged to Hendrix? Keep it real dude. Hendrix did an excellent cover of a Dylan owned song. There are certain songs of Dylan's such as Like a rolling stone, Knockin' on heaven's door and Forever young and some of his stuff from the 80's and 90's that only he can make it happen. One of the reasons is that his voice make those songs work.
Bela versão!
theres a certain sadness to the melody
Awesome is just awesome.
Always loved this
white bread harmonies and elevator soundtrack gusto..bagpipes anyone..
Brothers made a great rendtion of a brilliant song. I recommend a cover made by a guy named Bogo Szachraj, it's in a similar tone to this one. Check it here if you want to: /watch?v=B4O16MiYdhM . Take care.
Many times you can't see how great another one of Dylan's songs are until you hear someone else do them in a different arrangement.
Great version! Thanks for the upload!
Liked very this, beautiful.
Good judge.
Yet another song that has me asking - "have i heard this before?". Don't think so. What another brilliant Everly rendition. Keep sending 'em in, thanks,.
This is good, but Dylan's Bitter End/Other End version is my favorite.
This was an awesome album.
You got me at "I can see the turning of the key." Thx for posting this. "We sat in an empty theater and we kissed.'
This version is without a doubt THE BEST

The uileann pipes are beautiful in this, being very slightly out of pitch contrasts perfectly with the Everlys sweet (as usual) harmonies. love this song.
The uileann pipes sound beautiful here ,being very slightly out of pitch helps to contrast the pureness of the Everlys sweet harmonies, love this song.
The uileann pipes ruin it.
I saw Phil and Don at Newcastle City Hall around the time this album came out (1986). It was a great show and I never thought I'd get to see them again. Moving on 18 years, they showed up at Hyde Park with Simon and Garfunkel. Yes!!
Dylan's rendition of their song 'Let It Be Me' is also fantastic.
The George Harrison's Version is so far better !!!! And Bob's version is The BEST !! :D The original :) <3
Thanks ..... great song by great brothers ... LOVE IT ! (keepiteverly)
THnks ! vERY NICE eVERLY SONG. (KEEPITEVERLY)
@edoggio
You're right. They probably heard it wrong and didn't have a published copy in front of them. Happens sometimes.
exquisite!
@justmusicandme Thank you for sharing this old Dylan tune with me. I enjoyed it too.
----------Ellen
Why is Dylan covered so much? Because his songs come from deep inside his heart. His voice is not pretty, but so real.
What a great cover
Lots of good covers of this song but the one I really like is by Pat Guadagno and Tired Horses from the "That's a Bob Dylan Song" album...awesome!
Isn't this pretty? Thanks for sending, Angel. This is one of those "catchy" songs that will be in your mind for hours. Thanks for posting. *****.
Oh, I love this song! Never knew Dylan wrote it - figures. It's too good to have been written by some ordinary hack. So the album is called "Born Yesterday"? Right-o, Amazon, here I go again...
ps I cracked up at your comment about WB "throwing their toys out of the pram"! LOL
so good - so irish
god bless
bj
Dave Edmunds producing can't have helped.
Boring and predictable. Cant hold a candle to Dylan.
They sure can make anyone's song their own XD Love this AND them !
I really love this song. I want to download it for my MP3 player any help please?
I have Dylans most excellent original but this is it's only equal and I neeeed it!!!
wow how long have i been searching for this and here it is bravo for the posting
Uilleann pipes, what a brilliant arrangement choice to evoke Dylan's harmonica part. Some Dylan songs are so personal, that other artists can't perform them with honesty, but the brothers pulled it off here. They must have felt the pain. Awesome harmonies, as always. Other genetic linked singers: Wilsons, Gibbs, Carters and the Andrews Sisters.
That's Liam O'Flynn on the Irish pipes and tin whistle.
Abandoned love the. Everlys fabulous just found it on y tube. Margaret jones
