[00:00.92]Floater (Too Much to Ask) - Bob Dylan
[00:08.78]Down over the window
[00:11.75]From the dazzling sunlit place
[00:16.06]Through the back alleys  through the blinds
[00:19.41]Another one of the Memphis days
[00:24.41]Honey bees are buzzing
[00:27.78]Leaves begin to stir
[00:31.12]I'm in love with my second cousin
[00:34.40]I tell myself I could be happy forever with her
[00:40.05]I keep listening for footsteps
[00:43.97]But I ain't never hearing any
[00:48.00]From the boat  I fish for bullheads
[00:51.10]I catch a lot  sometimes too many
[00:55.84]A summer breeze is blowin'
[00:59.20]A squall is setting in
[01:03.01]Sometimes it's just plain stupid
[01:06.24]To get into any kind of wind
[01:18.34]Well the old men 'round here
[01:20.70]Sometimes they get on bad terms
[01:23.36]With the younger men
[01:26.56]Old  young  age don't carry weight
[01:30.02]It doesn't matter in the end
[01:34.68]One of the boss' hangers-on
[01:36.72]Sometimes comes to call
[01:38.48]At times you least expect
[01:42.11]Tryin' to bully you  strongarm you
[01:44.24]Inspire you with fear
[01:46.08]It has the opposite effect
[01:49.87]There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
[01:54.58]The other one is long gone
[01:58.54]10 foot  2 foot  6 across
[02:02.16]Burns with the bark still on
[02:06.30]They say times are hard
[02:08.72]If you don't believe it you can follow your nose
[02:13.79]It don't bother me  times are hard anywhere
[02:17.47]We'll just have to see how it goes
[02:29.76]My old man  he's like some feudal lord
[02:33.69]He's got more lives than a cat
[02:37.17]I've never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
[02:40.84]Things come alive or they fall flat
[02:45.85]You can smell the pine wood burnin'
[02:48.78]You can hear the school bell ring
[02:52.21]Got to get up near the teacher  if you can
[02:56.98]If you wanna learn anything
[03:00.47]Romeo  he said to Juliet  you got a poor complexion
[03:04.69]That don't give your appearance a very youthful touch
[03:08.85]Juliet said back to Romeo
[03:11.77]Why don't you just shove off
[03:13.85]If it bothers you so much
[03:16.74]They all got outta here any way they could
[03:20.48]Cold rain can give you the shivers
[03:23.52]They went down the Ohio  the Cumberland  the Tennessee
[03:26.83]All the rest of them rebel rivers
[03:39.31]If you ever try to interfere with me
[03:41.40]Or cross my path again
[03:43.20]You do so at the peril of your life
[03:47.14]I'm not quite as cool  or forgiving as I sound
[03:51.22]I've seen enough heartache and strife
[03:55.59]My grandfather was a duck trapper
[03:58.93]He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
[04:02.74]My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
[04:06.92]I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes
[04:10.99]I had 'em once  though I suppose
[04:14.45]To go along with all the ring dancing
[04:16.57]Christmas carols and all the Christmas eves
[04:19.18]I left all my dreams and hopes
[04:22.66]Buried under tobacco leaves
[04:26.57]Not always easy kicking someone out
[04:29.87]Got to wait awhile  it can be an unpleasant task
[04:33.77]Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
[04:36.88]And tears or not  it's too much to ask
