Lyrics:
Oh, I'm sailin' away, my own true love
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing?
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona
But if I had the stars of the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'
But I might be gone a long old time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there something I can send you to remember me by?
To make your time more easy-passin'
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again?
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I would want today
I would want again tomorrow
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'
If you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'
So take heed, take heed of the western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather

How can a 22-year-old boy from Minnesota write a song like that in 1963? How can a lovesick poet genius write a song like that? How can anyone write a song like that?
I heard this song for the first time the night before my girlfriend passed away from cancer. I was feeling sad and lonely in bed by myself and I sent it to her. It was really early the next morning when I got the phone call. I'll never know if she got a chance to listen. Life sure is cruel and unfair sometimes, but she smiled regardless. Thank you Bob Dylan for your contribution to mankind.
this song is so beautiful it actually physically hurts
This song is the song that I ask people to listen to when they're struggling to understand my profound admiration for Bob. I'll let you know if it ever doesn't work.
some songs persist way longer than we ever anticipate.
Stop typing. Put your pens down. No one can say it better
"Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night. And the diamonds from the deepest ocean. I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss. For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'." one of my favorite lines in any song I've ever heard.
Every year while on our family vacation I steal a few minutes a day to stand in the ocean listening to this song and remember the times we floated in the same ocean as children. Not a care in the world. Talking about anything and everything. Never did I think you'd leave this world so soon. Never did I think I couldn't call you. Never did I think there would be no more Richard-Ricardo and Rachel. I miss you, my dude, my brother. If you could bring anything back to me from your travels... It would be YOU.
Dylan is in a league of his own . Nobody can sing his songs better than him . His voice is just ..wow .. no other voices can sing his words in the way he intended and the depth of emotion .
“The same thing I would want today, I would want again tomorrow.”
The bittersweet pain of loving someone more than words, who cannot recieve it fully. Im crying real tears listening to this over and over.
Chills the whole time. The older you get the more this song hits harder an harder. Thanks for your music Bob Dylan
How beautiful is Bob's voice on this?
Lost love and regrets will bring any man to his knees.
I lived in Spain for 5 years, came back to Michigan where I was born, fell in love, and I’m going back to Spain in a few months…
The slow reveal is such a gut punch. She knows she's not coming back from the beginning.
This song stays with me long after it's over
Bob Dylan. 22 years old. There are certain things that should rightfully make one wonder.....how on earth?? It's even better that there is no possible answer to the question. That's what keeps life truly special.
Dylan is, of course, known for his many lyrical masterpieces like Desolation Row, Visions of Johanna, etc. And rightfully so. However, to a lot of Dylan fans, this song, in all its intentionally simplistic beauty and sadness, will always mean the most. Such a universal feeling, presented in a way that only Dylan can.
If anyone else made this song it would be the objective peak of their career,one of the most beautiful and sad ballads of all time... and he had decades of some of the best music of all time ahead. It's honestly insane. If this was his only song ever recorded it'd be a classic and rank in the top 10 songs of all time routinely, but no, he was outdid only by himself!
