Floater — текст песни (Bob Dylan)





Words and music by bob dylan



Down over the window

From the dazzling sunlit place

Through the back alleys, through the blinds

Another one of the memphis days



Honey bees are buzzing

Leaves begin to stir

Im in love with my second cousin

I tell myself I could be happy forever with her



I keep listening for footsteps

But I aint never hearing any

From the boat, I fish for bullheads

I catch a lot, sometimes too many



A summer breeze is blowin

A squall is setting in

Sometimes its just plain stupid

To get into any kind of wind



Well the old men round here

Sometimes they get on bad terms

With the younger men,

Old, young, age dont carry weight

It doesnt matter in the end



One of the boss hangers-on

Sometimes comes to call

At times you least expect

Tryin to bully you, strongarm you,

Inspire you with fear

It has the opposite effect



Theres a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town

The other one is long gone

10 foot, 2 foot, 6 across

Burns with the bark still on



They say times are hard

If you dont believe it you can follow your nose

It dont bother me, times are hard anywhere

Well just have to see how it goes



My old man, hes like some feudal lord

Hes got more lives than a cat

Ive never seen him quarrel with my mother even once

Things come alive or they fall flat



You can smell the pine wood burnin

You can hear the school bell ring

Got to get up near the teacher, if you can

If you wanna learn anything



Romeo, he said to juliet, you got a poor complexion

That dont give your appearance a very youthful touch

Juliet said back to romeo,

Why dont you just shove off,

If it bothers you so much



They all got outta here any way they could

Cold rain can give you the shivers

They went down the ohio, the cumberland, the tennessee,

All the rest of them rebel rivers



If you ever try to interfere with me

Or cross my path again,

You do so at the peril of your life

Im not quite as cool, or forgiving as I sound

Ive seen enough heartache and strife



My grandfather was a duck trapper,

He could do it with just dragnets and ropes

My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth,

I dont know if they had any dreams or hopes



I had em once, though I suppose

To go along with all the ring dancing,

Christmas carols and all the christmas eves

I left all my dreams and hopes

Buried under tobacco leaves



Not always easy kicking someone out

Got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task

Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up

And tears or not, its too much to ask
