Well, ya never miss your water till your well runs dry.

How does it feel

To be without a home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

The best is always yet to come.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

BOB DYLAN, "The Times They Are A-Changin'"

Money doesn’t talk, it swears obscenity.

If I had rubies and riches and crowns

I’d buy the whole world and change things around

I’d throw all the guns and the tanks in the sea

For they are mistakes of a past history

You can have your youth

It’ll rot before your eyes

Well now what's the use in dreamin'

You got better things to do

Dreams never did work for me anyway

Even when they did come true

Sometimes the silence can be like the thunder.

Love is all there is, it makes the world go ’round

Love and only love, it can’t be denied

No matter what you think about it

You just won’t be able to do without it

Take a tip from one who’s tried

City’s just a jungle; more games to play

Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away

I was raised in the country, I been workin’ in the town

I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down

The whole world's a bottle,

And life's but a dram,

When the bottle gets empty,

It sure ain't worth a damn.

I got a head full of ideas

That are drivin’ me insane

This world is ruled by violence
But I guess that's better left unsaid.

BOB DYLAN, "Union Sundown", Infidels

Hell's my wife's home town.

Take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind

Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves

The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach

Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

Yes, to 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

Let me forget about today until tomorrow

I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue

I’d go crawling down the avenue

There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

To make you feel my love

Come you masters of war

You that build all the guns

You that build the death planes

You that build the big bombs

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks....

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul

Well, my head’s full of questions

My temp’rature’s risin’ fast

Well, I’m lookin’ for some answers

But I don’t know who to ask

Well, I try my best

To be just like I am

But everybody wants you

To be just like them

Through hostile cities and unfriendly towns

Thirty pieces of silver, no money down

Maybe someday, you will understand

That something for nothing is everybody’s plan

God bless them pretty women,

I wish they was mine,

Their breath is as sweet,

The dew on the vine.

Every step of the way we walk the line

Your days are numbered, so are mine

Time is pilin’ up, we struggle and we scrape

We’re all boxed in, nowhere to escape

There's been rumors of war and wars that have been

The meaning of life has been lost in the wind

And some people thinkin' that the end is close by

'Stead of learnin' to live they are learnin' to die

Loneliness

Got a mind of its own

The more people around

The more you feel alone
