Accidentally Like A Martyr
Warren Zevon
Dylan version
The phone don't ring
And the sun refused to shine
Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly
For what was already mine
For such a long, long time

We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

The days slide by
Should have done, should have done, we all sigh
Never thought I'd ever be so lonely
After such a long, long time
Time out of mind

We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

Dylan is known for re-writing the lyrics of songs.
Sometimes from show to show.
Sometimes intentionally, most times by mistake.
While it is far beyond our scope to transcribe lyrics, we've
done so for the below version(s) as an added bonus.
