Expecting Rain

Tell me why, tell me why
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay but young enough to sell?

Just read through all of these - most are easily recognizable, some I will look up, but why are we ending with Neil Young?
Or maybe I missed the joke and this was intentional?

put your heart on a platter and see who'll bite

I seen all your decoys, through a set of deep turquoise................
always my fav Dylan rhyme

all things are beautiful in their time

Tread through great tribulation

You know we are strangers in a land we’re passing through
I’ll always be right by your side
I’ve got a covenant too

renegade priests & treacherous young witches
were handing out the flowers that I’d given to you

Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin’
And the ship’s wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin’

Once upon a time you dressed so fine

Fools making laws for the breaking of jaws.

We have many doing that in these times.

Though her skirt it swayed as a guitar played
Her mouth was watery and wet

Kind of lame on a literary basis, but perfect when you hear it sung at Plymouth Rock

She looked into my soul through the clothes that I wore.

Cobwebs in your mind
dust upon your eyes

I stood unwound beneath the skies.

in your teardrops,
I can see my own reflection

Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and they make you King.

Your tongue was like a bayonet
And your heart was like the wind

In the hills of mystery / In the foggy web of destiny

"Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free" ...My God

I'd never write this because honestly, I'd end up quoting the entire song... or at least the last verse. My God...

You took my reality
And cast it to the wind

All your seasick sailors,
they are rowing home
