The Dylan media player requires Flash 9
In the still of the night, in the world's ancient light
Where wisdom grows up in strife
My bewildering brain, toils in vain
Through the darkness on the pathways of life
Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air
Tomorrow keeps turning around
We live and we die, we know not why
But I'll be with you when the deal goes down
We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
Far down the street we stray
I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by
Things I never meant nor wished to say
The midnight rain follows the train
We all wear the same thorny crown
Soul to soul, our shadows roll
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
The moon gives light and shines by night
I scarcely feel the glow
We learn to live and then we forgive
O'er the road we're bound to go
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
That keep us so tightly bound
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
I followed the winding stream
I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys
I know they're not what they seem
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
You'll never see me frown
I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

Dylan's old Minnesota
Dylan's old Minnesota sweetheart looks allot like Scarlett Johanson, freaky old celluloid I guess. Just kidding this actually in my opinion is very beautiful song perhaps Dylan's most beautiful. Its undoubtably the best stuff thats been released since I've been old enough to be buying and appreciating music (I am 26). Such a deeply gratifying surprise.
WHEN THE DEAL GOES DOWN
a song abuot the utter exhaustion of life, it's mysteries that will only be revealed in death, and the comforting triumph of true love---so good to know that bob has not lost his intuition of life in general
When the deal goes down - Modern Times
Chanson d'une grande maturité, dont on ne se lasse pas; elle nous rassure. C'est une merveilleuse chance de garder le contact avec la créativité d' un artiste qui avance en âge.
Song of great maturity, realistic but reassures us, however, because of tenderness in it. It is a wonderful chance to keep in touch with the creativity of an artist who advance in age.
When the deal goes down

Thank you
