By Himself

By Himself

Overcast

A grey day like today needs some verse...

I laid on a dune I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach....

...Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore
You always responded when I needed your help
You gave me a map and a key to your door.

Sara, Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sara, Sara
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go.


Sara - Bob Dylan, 1976

I think Bob Dylan must be my favourite singer/poet. His music has been with me for almost as long as I can remember and always has something fresh to say each time I come back to it.
