Thanks, GMAN, can't ever get enough Dylan.
Though I don't have time to type it all out, here's part of one that's gotten to me lately,
"Ghost In This House"
I don't pick up the mail
I don't pick up the phone
I don"t answer the door
I'd just soon be alone
I don't keep this place up
I just keep the lights down
I don't live in these rooms
I just rattle around.
I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse
I haunt these halls
I'm just a whisper of smoke
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
You took my body and soul
I'm just a ghost in this house....
I don't know who wrote it, but it's performed by Alison Krauss. I prefer the live version on Alison Krauss and Union Station Live, which is an outstanding album, er, CD.
