Well, the moral of the story, The moral of this song, Is simply that one should never be Where one does not belong. So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin', Help him with his load, And don't go mistaking Paradise For that home across the road.
Bob DylanHow many a year has passed and gone and many gamble has been lost and won, and many a road taken by a friend and each one I've never seen again.
Bob DylanAnd Iโll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it Then Iโll stand on the ocean until I start sinkinโ But Iโll know my song well before I start singin
Bob DylanShadows are falling and I've been here all day/It's too hot to sleep, time is running away/Feel like my soul has turned into steel/I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal.
Bob DylanI had ambitions to set out and find, like an odyssey or going home somewhere, set out to find this home that I'd left a while back and couldn't remember exactly where it was, but I was on my way there. And encountering what I encountered on the way was how I envisioned it all. I didn't really have any ambition at all. I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be, and so, I'm on my way home, you know?
Bob Dylan
