TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' by Garrison Keillor - for Dylan's 60th in 2001 Come gather 'round people wherever you roam It's time to start looking for a good nursing home And accept it that soon you'll be living alone And you'll need help with bathin and shavin They say "golden years," but it's the twilight zone For the times, they are a-changin'. Come pals from the Sixties who are sixty like me Once we were longing to love and be free And now we're all marchin in the A.A.R.P, And get senior discounts on drug payments And we're longing to live til we're 73 For the times, they are a-changin'. Come doctors and internists, answer my call. Does my PSA say that my prostate's still small? These blood pressure pills are not helping at all. Or these tranquilizers I'm taking. I walk cross the room, I'm afraid I will fall, For the times, they are a-changin'. Come daughters and sons throughout the land Someday you'll get old and you'll understand. There's gray in my hair and big spots on my hand. Your daddy is rapidly agin'. Once I rolled stones and now I'm an old man, For the times, they are a-changin'. I never dreamed I'd get this old so fast I look in the mirror and I'm simply aghast Cause all of my best times are far in the past. And my memory is rapidly fadin', And my memory, my friends, is blowin in the wind Like a rolling stone In a nursing home Happy Birthday to me No,no,no, it ain't me Bob It ain't me who's getting old, Bob, It ain't me who's getting old. Forever young, forever young, I will stay...forever young. |

26 May 03 - 11:28 AM (#959307) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Bob Dylan From: Matt_R Giac is right...it's from the soundtrack of the movie "Gods & Generals". It's an 8-minute epic song, with lots of references to Stonewall Jackson. 'Cross The Green Mountain Bob Dylan I cross the green mountain, I slept by the stream Heaven blazin' in my head, I dreamt a monstrous dream. Somethin' came up out of the sea Swept through the land of the rich and the free. I look into the eyes of my merciful friend And then I ask myself, is this the end? Memories linger, sad yet sweet And i think of the souls in heaven who will meet. Altars are burnin' with flames far and wide The foe has crossed over from the other side They tip their caps from the top of the hill You can feel them come, more brave blood to spill. Along the dim Atlantic line The ravaged land lies for miles behind The light's coming forward and the streets are broad All must yield to the avengin' God. The world is old, the world is gray Lessons of life can't be learned in a day. I watch and I wait and I listen while I stand To the music that comes from a far better land. Close the eyes of our captain, peace may he know His long night is done, the great leader is laid low. He was ready to fall, he was quick to defend Killed outright he was by his own men. It's the last day's last hour of the last happy year I feel that the unknown world is so near. Pride will vanish and glory will rot But virtue lives and cannot be forgot. The bells of the evening have rung There's blasphemy on every tongue. Let 'em say that I walked in fair nature's light And that I was loyal to truth and to right. Serve God and be cheerful, look upward, beyond Beyond the darkness of masks, the surprises of dawn. In the deep green grasses of the blood stained wood They never dreamed of surrenderin', they fell where they stood. Stars fell over Alabama, I saw each star You're walkin' in dreams, whoever you are. Chilled are the skies, keen is the frost The grounds froze hard and the morning is lost. A letter to mother came today Gun shot wound to the breast is what it did say. But he'll be better soon, he's on a hospital bed But he'll never be better, he's already dead. I'm ten miles outside the city an' I'm lifted away In an ancient light that is not of day They were calm, they were blunt, we knew 'em all too well We loved each other more than we ever dared to tell. |

26 May 03 - 11:40 PM (#959563) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Bob Dylan From: Little Hawk Wow. Did Dylan write that? And if so, when? Stonewall Jackson was a general to remember, probably the finest of his day. And Dylan? I will quote Judy Collins, who has called him "a national treasure". Make that "international". - LH |
