When I Paint My Masterpiece ~Bob Dylan

Self Portrait ~BD © Wikipedia

There's trouble everywhere
You look
   You see?

I'm at a station
   Downtown
   Just north of Bonneville 

Where the trains
   Come in every morning
Packing PPG
   For the dying
      You see?

Maybe I shouldn't put it so bluntly
   But the plague
   Left Europe
   And found a home
In the golden glow

Of the red-headed stepson
   Who one day just had to go
Leaving the streets filled with rubble
And Cannery Row sardines
   Flapping
      You See?

Nothing a brutal
   Civil war can't fix
   Say the French
But we remember

Those cold winter days 
   On the Potomac
Crazy
   You see?

As we watch the river flow
   From here to Hudson
   On a sunny day

Waiting for Ramona
   To shut her watery eyes
   As the pangs of her sorrow
Subside
   You see?

I'm a little lost
Do you see, José?
   I missed it
