about

for Bob Dylan

lyrics

I'm gonna sing this in my own way
Cos I don't want pale imitation
You are an amazing fountain of creation

Your truest voice
bright like a horn
when I was young
I could have sworn
I felt your presence stomp through me.
I knew that you, only you, knew me.

You were never trapped and pinned down,
by crowds following you around
you knew justice and variety
and stayed blind enough to see

Your truest voice
bright like a horn
when I was young
I could have sworn
I felt your presence stomp through me.
I knew that you, only you, knew me.

Adventurous, brave in your imagination
passionate in your insane engagement
like an author writing a book with the reader one page behind
I hope we never catch up
I hope you never die

Your truest voice
bright like a horn
when I was young
I could have sworn
I felt your presence stomp through me.
I knew that you, only you, knew me.

Dan Ball recommends:

drool together
by Chocolate Dog

This is an album I made in collaboration over the internet with two fine musicians back home in Dublin Ireland. There is a very interesting mix of styles, tones and rhythms. Dan Ball
