[00:01.48]Bob Dylan - Floater (Too Much To Ask)
[00:03.84]
[00:08.42]Down over the window
[00:11.90]Comes the dazzling sunlit rays
[00:16.26]Through the back alleys - through the blinds
[00:19.38]Another one of them endless days
[00:22.61]
[00:24.43]Honeybees are buzzin'
[00:27.91]Leaves begin to stir
[00:31.40]I'm in love with my second cousin
[00:34.47]I tell myself I could be happy forever with her
[00:38.38]
[00:40.15]I keep listenin' for footsteps
[00:44.29]But I ain't hearing any
[00:47.80]From the boat I fish for bullheads
[00:51.39]I catch a lot, sometimes too many
[00:55.28]
[00:56.11]A summer breeze is blowing
[00:59.15]A squall is settin' in
[01:03.21]Sometimes it's just plain stupid
[01:06.36]To get into any kind of wind
[01:10.57]
[01:18.55]The old men 'round here, sometimes they get
[01:22.47]On bad terms with the younger men
[01:26.85]But old, young, age don't carry weight
[01:30.24]It doesn't matter in the end
[01:32.76]
[01:34.53]One of the boss' hangers-on
[01:36.62]Comes to call at times you least expect
[01:41.93]Try to bully ya - strong arm you - inspire you with fear
[01:45.95]It has the opposite effect
[01:49.38]
[01:50.17]There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
[01:54.36]The old one is long gone
[01:57.99]Timber two-foot six across
[02:02.05]Burns with the bark still on
[02:05.70]
[02:06.68]They say times are hard, if you don't believe it
[02:10.75]You can just follow your nose
[02:13.92]It don't bother me - times are hard everywhere
[02:17.46]We'll just have to see how it goes
[02:20.67]
[02:29.60]My old man, he's like some feudal lord
[02:33.79]Got more lives than a cat
[02:37.49]Never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
[02:41.01]Things come alive or they fall flat
[02:44.39]
[02:46.10]You can smell the pine wood burnin'
[02:48.96]You can hear the school bell ring
[02:52.61]Gotta get up near the teacher if you can
[02:56.82]If you wanna learn anything
[02:59.24]
[03:00.70]Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion.
[03:04.20]It doesn't give your appearance a very youthful touch!"
[03:08.39]Juliet said back to Romeo, "Why don't you just shove off
[03:13.29]If it bothers you so much."
[03:15.56]
[03:16.99]They all got out of here any way they could
[03:20.47]The cold rain can give you the shivers
[03:23.83]They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee
[03:26.92]All the rest of them rebel rivers
[03:30.88]
[03:39.59]If you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again
[03:43.41]You do so at the peril of your own life
[03:47.26]I'm not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound
[03:51.30]I've seen enough heartaches and strife
[03:54.96]
[03:55.75]My grandfather was a duck trapper
[03:58.89]He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
[04:02.59]My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
[04:06.52]I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes
[04:09.84]
[04:11.02]I had 'em once though, I suppose, to go along
[04:15.17]With all the ring dancin' Christmas carols on all of the Christmas Eves
[04:19.10]I left all my dreams and hopes
[04:22.31]Buried under tobacco leaves
[04:25.47]
[04:26.75]It's not always easy kicking someone out
[04:30.12]Gotta wait a while - it can be an unpleasant task
[04:33.95]Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
[04:36.34]And tears or not, it's too much to ask
[04:41.80]
