Bob, thanks for posting. That's an incredible piece of songwriting.
A young Dylan too.Best thing about the SB.....the Dalmatian
and the Clydesdale horses.
A young Dylan too.
Just another incredible writer of meaningful song lyrics.I was surprised when my mother related
with amusement on one of Dylan's songs
with his words that expressed it perfectly.
This was in the 60s and a young Dylan.
On the old Songwriters Forum (now defunct) we spent yrs dissecting & discussing the lyrics to songs like "Desolation Row", "Highway 61 Revisited", "It's All Right Ma", etc. In an interview once Dylan said he wrote the lyrics to "It's All Right Ma" in something like 10 min, but he couldn't do that anymore.Yep!
"I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you"
