This is a gem of a prize ...
so powerful and so wise...

I feel that Mr.Bob Dylan well qualifies smokin
to be a Prophet in our modern day times drinker


"You must leave now, take what you need,
you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep,
you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

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.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind,
something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left,
they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue. "

hey long haired beauty....I have heard some Dylan songs before but the one I identify with mostly is his Knockin' on Heaven's Door. Keep in touch more.

Oh certainly I shall ...
I was thinking that since Dylan wrote so much music we could have a post of favorite dylan songs or I could start at the letter A and go down the alphabet posting all of dylans tunes...
course I travel a lot so I would not be able to do it everyday.
