Dylan

I pray for rain

Because I'm trying to find God

And make Him cry because I'm dying

In a fire beneath my covers

And somewhere out across the way

You ask for salt across a plate

And you can't find a word to say

To your own brother

And you could call me over now

And we could fix this with our mouths

But you don't buy the farm if

You can't afford the cow

And you say Dylan is a sentiment

That you don't want to share

And you say you looked back in anger

And it rose to meet your stare

And you say I am not the one

Who put the bullet to your gun

And made it flare

And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you

And you don't want to share

You say you're looking for the truth

Like you've got rifles in your books

But up above your parents' roof

I saw no star tonight

Only the black from whence you came

And where they'll send you back again

And no blue plaque will keep your name

From falling out of sight

And you could wage this war of one

And I am still the only one

Who will remember you

When you are gone

But you say Dylan is a sentiment

That you don't want to share

And you say you looked back in anger

And it rose to meet your stare

And you say I am not the one

Who put the bullet to the gun

And made it flare

And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you

And you don't want to share

Oh and all the things you talk about

But never say to me

And all the things to talk about

That I could say to you

Like, reading an Italian book from the 13th century

Is not that hard to do

And I am not the kind

Who puts their toe against the line

And makes it tear

But this could be the thing

That puts the blood into your skin

And keeps it there

And you say Dylan is a sentiment

That no one else will ever understand

And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you

But you are only just a man
