As time passes on, I hear many songs Songs of old, songs of new Mornings haze, dusks stillness Lonely nights, city living County air, summers medows Winters lonely streets Death of the old, birth of the young
A guitar, a band, a note, a strum Busking, travelling, clocks a tickin Waters flowin, trains a rollin, end of the line Dreaming, fighting, crying, dying
Oh father of night Oh father of day Oh father to you I pray You require no faith You are past, present, future Forever with us
In our cars In our rooms In the darkness Share the joy Your words Your chords Your voice Guding unyielding to the truth
What's right What's wrong What are minds are thinking What our hearts are feeling
I drift, I flow Years go bye You remain A ship that can't be sunk A dream that can't be thwarted Wherever my restless heart wonders You will be found Robert Zimmerman we are forever yours
The disillusioned The faithless The loveless The lost The wiry Now and forever Till the day we pass You're the father You're the light in the dark You will never die Your star burns brightest In this life or the next God willing We'll meet again
