Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan

American Poet 1941-Present

"He who is not busy being born is busy dying."

​
From: The Times They are A-Changin'

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown,
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone,
For the times they are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
From: Subterranean Homesick Blues

​Look out kid,
Don't matter what you did.
Walk on your tip toes,
Don't tie no bows.
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose.
Keep a clean nose,
Watch the plain clothes.
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows.
"The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind."
                                      -Bob Dylan
