Rainy day ill keep it with mine

Lyrics for I'll Keep It With Mine by Rainy Day

You′ll search, babe, At any cost. But how long, babe,

We search for what's not lost? Ev′rybody will help you, Some people are very kind. But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I'll keep it with mine. I can't help it If you might think I′m odd, If I say I don′t loving you for what you are But for what you're not. Everybody will help you Discover what you set out to find. But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I′ll keep it with mine. The train leaves At half past ten, But it'll be back tomorrow, Same time again. The conductor he′s weary, He's still stuck on the line. But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I′ll keep it with mine.

You search back at any cost
But how long babe
You search for what's not lost
Everybody will help you
Some people are very kind
But if I could save you anytime
Come on, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine.

I can't help it if you might think I'm wrong
If I say I don't love you for what you are
But for what you're not

Everybody will help you
Discover what you set out to find
But if I could save you anytime
Comeon, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine.

The train leaves at half past ten
But it'll be back tomorrow
Same time again
The conductor
His spirit's still stuck on the line
But if I could save you anytime
Come on, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine.

"I'll Keep It with Mine" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1964,[1] first released by folk singer Judy Collins as a single in 1965. Dylan attempted to record the song for his 1966 album Blonde on Blonde.

Dylan's versions[edit]

Dylan recorded a vocal-and-piano demo of the song for publishing company M. Witmark & Sons in June 1964, which was released by Columbia in 2010 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos: 1962–1964.

In mid-January 1965, during sessions for the Bringing It All Back Home album, Dylan again recorded the song solo, on piano. This version, with the working title "Bank Account Blues", was released in 1985 on the Biograph retrospective. (The album notes contradictorily indicate that this performance was recorded in June 1964 and that it was recorded in January 1965. The latter is correct.[2])

A full-band rehearsal of the song, recorded during the early Blonde on Blonde sessions on January 27, 1966 (per album booklet), was released on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3. The rehearsal is rough and the recording starts well into the first verse, which is briefly interrupted by producer Bob Johnston on a talkback speaker, saying, "What you were doing".

During the seventh session for Blonde on Blonde – on February 15–16, 1966, at the Columbia Music Row Studios, Nashville, Tennessee – ten instrumental takes of the song were recorded. Takes 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are false starts, and takes 1 and 3 are interrupted.[3] Dylan is not present on these recordings, as he was late to the session. While they waited, Johnston had the musicians lay down through instrumental takes of the song - presumably either as rehearsals or to have Dylan overdub his parts later. When Dylan arrived at the studio he opted instead to focus on "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands". The song was not revisited during the Nashville sessions.

Dylan can be seen performing the song on piano in the film 65 Revisited, which was made during his tour of England in May 1965.

Reception[edit]

Rolling Stone rated the song #41 on its list of 100 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs, calling it a "ballad of friendship" featuring "a sweet, plaintive vocal."[4] The aggregation of critics' lists at acclaimedmusic.net did not place this song in its list of the top 3000 songs of all time, but rated Bob Dylan's version as one of the 1965 songs "bubbling under" the top 3000.[5]
