High Water Everywhere
As inspired by this post at Dependable Renegade: I’m reminded of prophetic words by Bob Dylan from the Love and Theft CD.
The Song? High Water
I snip some parts I can remember - those that seem painfully poignent.
High water rising, rising night and day,
All the gold and silver being stolen away……Nothing standing there, high water everywhere…
High water rising, the shacks are sliding down,
Folks lose their posessions, the folks are leaving town……You dance with those they tell you to or you don’t dance at all.
Its tough out here, high water everywhere……Things are breaking up out there, high water everywhere…
High water rising six inches above my head,
hardwood coffins floating like ballons made out of lead……”don’t reach after me”, she said, “can’t you see I’m drowning too.”
It’s rough out there, high water everywhere.…they got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway 5,
Judge says to the high sheriff “I want him dead or alive,
Either one - I don’t care.” High water everywhere…The Kuku is a pretty bird she warbles as she flies.
I’m preaching the Word of God - I’m putting our your eyes……It’s bad out there, high water everywhere…
My heart goes out to everyone. While our government takes out more loans from the Chinese, having exhausted all resources for Operation Desert Quagmire, much needed help may be slow in coming. May you find the strength you need within…
