THE DEATH WATCH-NINETEEN

Death Is Not The End

by Bob Dylan

When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you've held sacred, falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is no the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you're standing at the crossroads that you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished and you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When the storm clouds gather 'round you, and heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there's no one there to comfort you, with a helpin' hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

Oh, the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines
In dark and empty skies

When the cities are on fire with the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
And you search in vain to find just one law abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

  • Shadows 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
    There's not even room enough to be anywhere
    It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

    Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
    Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
    She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
    She put down in writing what was in her mind
    I just don't see why I should even care
    It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

    Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
    I've followed the river and I got to the sea
    I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
    I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
    Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
    It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

    I was born here and I'll die here against my will
    I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
    Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
    I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
    Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
    It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

    this is the one i can't stop listening to. that dylan sure is good.
    from the wonderboys soundtrack too.
    reading every day,

  • hey pop,
    sorry if my dylan lyrics bummed you out. this song has been going thru my head for the last year. even taught myself how to play it on the piano. with all that you are going thru it's taken on new meanings and plays even louder in my head. i find i'm singing it all day long. i suppose it's my "putting myself in your shoes" that makes me feel this way.
    and i know you love that dylan. maybe even more than me.
    hope to see you soon,
    caleb
