Oh the evening train is rolling
All along the [homeward] way
All my hopes are over the horizon
All my dreams have gone [astray/away/in vain]
. . . The hillside darkly [shaded/shading]
. . . Stars fall from above
. . . All the joys of earth [are/have] [faded/fading]
. . . The night's untouched [by/my] love
I'll be here 'til tomorrow
Beneath a shroud of grey
I pretend I'm free of sorrow
My heart is miles away
. . . The dead bells are ringing
. . . My train is overdue
. . . To your memory I'm clinging
. . . I can't escape from you
Well I hear the sound of thunder
Roaring loud and long
Sometimes you've got to wonder
God knows I've done no wrong
. . . You've wasted all your power
. . . You threw out the Christmas pie
. . . Now you're withering like a flower
. . . You'll play the fool and die
I'm neither sad nor sorry
I'm all dressed up in black
I fought for fame and glory
You tried to break my back
. . . In the far off sweet forever
. . . The sunshine peeking through
. . . We should have walked together
. . . I can't escape from you
I cannot grasp the shadows
That gather near the door
Rain falls round my window
I wish I'd seen you more
. . . The path is ever winding
. . . The stars they never age
. . . The morning light is blinding
. . . All the world's a stage
Should be the time of gladness
Happy faces everywhere
The mystery of madness
Is propagating in the air
. . . I don't like the city
. . . Not like some folks do
. . . Isn't it a pity
. . . I can't escape from you
We ploughed the fields of heaven
Right down to the end
I hope I can be forgiven
If any words of mine offend
. . . All our days were splendid
. . . They were simple, they were plain
. . . It never should have ended
. . . I should have kissed you in the rain
I've been thinking things all over
All the moments full of grace
The primrose and the clover
Your everchanging face
. . . Can't help looking at you
. . . You made love with god-knows-who
. . . Never found a girl to match you
. . . I can't escape from you

Bob Dylan, nato Robert Allen Zimmerman a Duluth (Minnesota) il 24 maggio 1941, è un cantautore, compositore, scrittore, poeta, pittore, attore e conduttore radiofonico statunitense. Considerato una delle figure più influenti degli ultimi cinquant'anni in musica, cultura popolare e letteratura, Dylan ha segnato profondamente la storia della musica americana. La sua carriera inizia negli anni '60, periodo in cui si afferma come figura chiave del movimento di protesta americano. Canzoni come *Blowin' in the Wind* e *The Times They Are A-Changin'* diventano inni dei movimenti pacifisti e per i diritti civili. I testi delle sue prime canzoni affrontano temi politici, sociali e filosofici, influenzati da autori letterari come Walt Whitman e William Blake, sfidando le convenzioni della musica pop e appellandosi alla controcultura del tempo. Nel corso degli anni Dylan ha ampliato e personalizzato il suo stile musicale, esplorando generi diversi come country, blues, rock e gospel. Tra i suoi album più importanti: *The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan* (1963), *Bringing It All Back Home* (1965) e *Highway 61 Revisited* (1965). Nel 1976 pubblica l'album *Desire*, che segna un nuovo capitolo nella sua carriera, con influenze blues e country. Nel 2016 riceve il Premio Nobel per la letteratura «per aver creato nuove poetiche nel grande universo della canzone americana».
