lyrics

Live and let live
Let sleeping dogs lie
Laugh when you can
Let it out when you cry
Don’t buy into heaven or hell
Be good try to live your life well

Some things just happen
Some choices you make
Some paths you choose
Others you’re forced to take
Life comes at you day-after-day
Use your head let your heart lead the way

With what you are given
Do all you can do
Hold all the pain you can stand
Live every moment ’til your life is through
Give and take all the love that you can

Things come together
And things fall apart
Life’s so much more
Than the beat of your heart
There’s so much out there to do
And all of it’s waiting on you

With what you are given
Do all you can do
Live every moment ’til your life is through
You’ve got to hold all the pain you can stand
Give and take all the love that you can

You’ve got to hold all the pain you can stand
Give and take all the love that you can

I knew Bob before he was 'Slim'. Then lost touch. Always followed him musically from Buzz Barker and the Atomic Bums to his solo work. I was never much into listening to live music at First Ave or bars so I didn't really get to watch him play and sing. I did see him open for Roseanne Cash once. Take care Bob! clayb

I am blown away by this album. It is beautiful and such an refreshing mixture of styles. Now that I've listened a number of times, I am drawn especially to tracks 6,1,2, 11, 7, 14. That's not to say I don't like the other songs; I think that this is Dylan's best record yet. But those ones especially draw me back. ninahale
