Isaiah 21:5-9
King James Version (KJV)
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

Not Fade Away (with Nils Lofgren and Miami Steve van Zandt on guitar - Dylan, deadpan: "We don't have Bruce, but we have his guitar players." (Springsteen and the E Street Band play same venue day after) Jean-Martin Buettner, Zurich About the show: Band tight, singer preppy and in the best of moods, which means awkward dancing and extended, few notes soloing. Masters of War, Hard Rain, Tangled, To Be Alone With You and even Highway 61 awesome, Masters of War probably the highlight b/w a hilarious Not Fade Away, singalong style, with five guitarists sharing the stage and making a huge noise. Singing inspired almost throughout with the possible exception of Tambourine and Baby Blue, which sounded jaded. Warm reception, great show - what was it you wanted?

“Grand Ballad”, Bible version.Then she opened up the Bible And she started quotin' it to me Jeremiah chapter seventeen From verses 21 and 33.And in case anyone is curious, Jeremiah 17:21 - “Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem”.
17:33 doesn’t exist.
Oh, child, why you wanna hurt me?
I’m exiled, you can’t convert me
I’m lost in the haze of your delicate ways
With both eyes glazed
***
It’d be great to cross paths in a day and a half
Look at each other and laugh
But I don’t think it’s liable to happen
Like the sound of one hand clappin’
The vows that we kept are now broken and swept
’Neath the bed where we slept
Don’t think of me and fantasize on what we never had
Be grateful for what we’ve shared together and be glad
Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope?
Eventually we’ll hang ourselves on all this tangled rope
Oh, babe, time for a new transition
I wish I was a magician
I would wave a wand and tie back the bond
That we’ve both gone beyond
