I love that man. I know there are a lot of people out there who don't, but I take so much from his poetry. That's what it really is, after all. So I took some verses from a few of my favorites.
I'm a rambler, I’m a gambler
I’m a long way from my home
If the people don’t like me
They can leave me alone
She's got everything she needs
She's an artist, she don't look back
She's got everything she needs
She's an artist, she don't look back
She can take the dark out of nighttime
And paint the daytime black.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Not a fan of Dylan vocally, but admire his words.
ReplyDeleteThat last part? The "May you" part?
It reminds me of St. Francis.
The last two words? Well that reminds me of this song:

The last verse in one of my favourite songs...ever.
