Bob Dylan
a man with a message
"How many seas must a white
dove sail...
before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly...
before they're forever banned?
How many times must a man look up...
before he can see the sky?"
Blowin' in the Wind
B.Dylan
"Suddenly I turned around and
she was standing there...
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair...
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns...
Come in, she said... I'll give you shelter from the storm..."
Shelter from the Storm
B.Dylan
"Every one of them words rang
true...
And glowed like burning coal...
Pouring off of every page ...
Like it was written in my soul ...from me to you...
I'm still on the road...headin' for another joint...
We always did feel the same...
We just saw it from a different point of view..."
Tangled Up in Blue
B.Dylan
"Fishermen hold flowers...
Between the windows of the sea...
Where lovely mermaids flow...
And nobody has to think too much...
About Desolation Row..."
Desolation Row
B.Dylan
"The sun beat down upon the
steps of time to light the way...
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay...
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night...
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea...
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man...
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand..."
Every Grain of Sand
B.Dylan
"If you hear vague traces of
skipping reels of rhyme...your tambourine in time...
Dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free...
Silhouetted by the sea... circled by the circus sands...
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves...
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you..."
Mr. Tambourine Man
B.Dylan
