“The times they are a-changing” Guess I’m growin’ older fast Had a **** good time one summer, But summers never last.
“Ah, but I was so much older then” Rip van Winkle shared his drink with me Woke up; thought we were younger But the village disagreed.
“Like a rolling stone” I never stayed on the top of any hill Got no regrets to mention But I prob’ly sometime will.
“Blowin’ in the wind” Seeds from a weeping willow tree Never knowin’ where they might end up But it’s the same **** thing with me.
“All I really want to do” Before I end up in the dirt Is beg everyone’s forgiveness But there’s too many I hurt.
“A hard rain’s a-gonna fall” For now it’s beatin’ on my head Soon it’ll pound down on my grave But by that time I’ll be dead.
“Long and wasted years” Came along and passed me by Yeah I kinda miss the summer But I ain’t had time to cry.
“I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes” Can’t believe the things I’ve seen Still, I’d pretend that I was younger But Dylan’s on AARP magazine. PwL 3/31/15
Just wanted to re-post and say Happy Birthday to Bob Dylan!!
The first line in each stanza is a title of, or line from a Bob Dylan song. A true poet. So "Growin' Old" is dedicated to Bob Dylan and all the rest of us who are old enough to get AARP magazine! Hope you enjoy!
