Which Dylan at 1:26 am (Tuesday) of the New Year?

Thinking still of my brother-units, and of the songs that have played in my head through all these many years of wanting, somehow, to make things absolutely okay. I'll Keep It With Mine has always been steadily there, in spite of Nico's cover ("akin to eating a sandwich after a funeral...").

Just kidding. She was brilliant.





I'll Keep It With Mine


You will search, babe,
At any cost.
But how long, babe,
Can you search for what's not lost?
Ev'rybody will help you,
Some people are very kind.
But if I can save you any time,
Come on, give it to me,
I'll keep it with mine.

I can't help it
If you might think I'm odd,
If I say I'm not loving you for what you are
But for what you're not.
Everybody will help you
Discover what you set out to find.
But if I can save you any time,
Come on, give it to me,
I'll keep it with mine.

The train leaves
At half past ten,
But it'll be back tomorrow,
Same time again.
The conductor he's weary,
He's still stuck on the line.
But if I can save you any time,
Come on, give it to me,
I'll keep it with mine.
