Dark Eyes Lyrics

Cover art for Dark Eyes lyrics by Bob Dylan

Yeah, this song was something he just wrote up to finish off the album. It didn't seem to have a great lot of meaning to Dylan or fans of the time or those of today, for that matter. I really can't understand why it's so underrated; I absolutely love this song. Very sorrowful.

I agree that this song has a sorrowful tone. But how can any of us presume to know how much meaning this has to Dylan?

Given the circumstances he explained in Chronicles of how it came about I believe it relates to elements of sexual addiction. Read through the lyrics from this standpoint and I believe you will find, stanza by stanza, it resonates with meaning from this perspective.

Guys who have struggled with it can understand I beieve. Add to that high-profile fame gives it another layer of pressure.
