Bob Dylan - Two By Two lyrics

How many paths did he try and fail How many of their brothers and sisters linger in jail How much poison did their inhale How many black cats crossed their trail. Seven by seven they head for heaven Eight by eight their got to the gate Nine by nine they drank the wine Ten by ten they drank it again. How many tomorrows have they given away How many compared to yesterday How many more without any reward How many more can they afford. Two by two they step into the ark Two by two they step in the dark Three by three they're turning the key Four by four they turn it some more. One by one they followed the sun Two by two to another rendezvous Three by three don't tread on me Four by four they're loosing the war. Five by five can't stay alive ......
