Subject: RE: Any April Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 11 Apr 25 - 04:06 AM On 11 April 1961, Bob Dylan played his first official gig in Greenwich Village, New York. THE NEVER ENDING TOUR You’re on an endless journey, do you ever wonder why? Everyday another concert, every night another town Every evening is a greeting, every morning a goodbye Do you think that you can ever settle down? It’s time you put an end to all your rough and rowdy ways You always want to ramble, you always want to roam You drive hotel to hotel, and you live from day to day Do you think that you will ever find a home? Day after day, behind dark glasses, you drive from shore to shore At night you stand before the lights of crowded concert halls The songs are your companions, no conversation, just applause What will you do after the final curtain falls?
