Down over the window
From the dazzling sunlit rays
through the back alleys, through the blinds
another one of them endless days
Honey bees are buzzing
leaves begin to stir
I'm in love with my second cousin
I tell myself I could be happy forever with her
I keep listening for footsteps
but I ain't never hearing any
from the boat, I fish for bullheads
I catch a lot, sometimes too many
A summer breeze is blowin'
a squall is setting in
sometimes it's just plain stupid
to get into any kind of wind
Well the old men 'round here
sometimes they get on bad terms
with the younger men,
old, young, age don't carry weight
it doesn't matter in the end
One of the boss' hangers-on
Sometimes comes to call
At times you least expect
Tryin' to bully you, strongarm you,
inspire you with fear
It has the opposite effect
There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
the old one is long gone
10 foot, 2 foot, 6 across
Burns with the bark still on
They say times are hard
if you don't believe it you can follow your nose
it don't bother me, times are hard anywhere
we'll just have to see how it goes
My old man, he's like some feudal lord
he's got more lives than a cat
I've never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
things come alive or they fall flat
You can smell the pine wood burnin'
you can hear the school bell ring
got to get up near the teacher, if you can
if you wanna learn anything
Romeo, he said to Juliet, you got a poor complexion
it don't give you an appearance or a youthful touch
Juliet said back to Romeo,
why don't you just shove off,
if it bothers you so much
They got outta here any way they could
Cold rain can give you the shivers
they went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee,
all the rest of them rebel rivers
If you ever try to interfere with me
or cross my path again,
you do so at the peril of your life
I'm not quite as cool, or forgiving as I sound
I've seen enough heartache and strife
My grandfather was a duck trapper,
he could do it with just dragnets and ropes (?)
my grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth,
I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes.
I had 'em once, though I suppose
To go along with all the ring dancing,
Christmas carols and all the Christmas eves
I left all my dreams and hopes
buried under tobacco leaves
Not always easy kicking someone up
got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task
sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
And tears or not, it's too much to ask.
Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota on May 24, 1941, is an American singer-songwriter, composer, writer, poet, painter, actor, and radio host. Considered one of the most influential figures of the last fifty years in music, popular culture, and literature, Dylan has profoundly marked the history of American music. His career began in the 1960s, when he emerged as a key figure in the American protest movement. Songs like *Blowin' in the Wind* and *The Times They Are A-Changin'* became anthems for pacifist and civil rights movements. The lyrics of his early songs addressed political, social, and philosophical themes, influenced by literary authors such as Walt Whitman and William Blake, challenging the conventions of pop music and appealing to the counterculture of the time. Over the years, Dylan has expanded and personalized his musical style, exploring genres such as country, blues, rock, and gospel. Among his most important albums: *The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan* (1963), *Bringing It All Back Home* (1965) and *Highway 61 Revisited* (1965). In 1976 he released the album *Desire*, marking a new chapter in his career with blues and country influences. In 2016, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature «for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition».
