I find this Dylan cover (beautifully conducted by Wilco and Fleet Foxes) a good Sunday night / early Monday morning song, as I sit alone in my studio space. I miss a lot of things right now and it’s hard to remember that everything is happening for a reason. I just want to see the someday when everything is different…
Or maybe, I should just appreciate the now—as a necessity, as a passing, as a blessing in disguise.
They say ev’rything can be replaced,
Yet ev’ry distance is not near.
So I remember ev’ry face
Of ev’ry man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
They say ev’ry man needs protection,
They say ev’ry man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he’s not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
