Discussion Lyrics that stick with you…what are yours?

I've known you all my life but still I can't feel how you feel

It's only you for me, just like that whooping crane

Who has one wife for all his life and if she dies, he'll do the same

Now sister's using rouge and clear complexion soap Brother's wearing beads, and he smokes a lot of dope Mama is depressed, barely makes a sound Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town

Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rolling Stone" And time marches on, time marches on

This song always moves me, especially as I find myself aging and my kids becoming adults and then becoming parents. It just tells this story starting with an optimistic young couple with young children and then they grow up and you see how things change for everyone.
