Feel a Change Coming On Lyrics
Looking far off into the east
And I see my baby comin'
She's walking with the village priest
I feel a change comin' on
And the last part of the day's already gone
We strive for the same old ends
And I just can't wait
Wait for us to become friends
I feel a change comin' on
And the fourth part of the day's already gone
And they say that love is blind
If you wanna live easy
Baby, pack your clothes with mine
I feel a change comin' on
And the fourth part of the day's already gone
You got better things to do
Dreams never did work for me anyway
Even when they did come true
Baby you can start a fire
I must be losing my mind
You're the object of my desire
I feel a change comin' on
And the fourth part of the day's already gone
And I'm reading James Joyce
Some people they tell me
I've got the blood of the land in my voice
Everybody got all the beautiful clothes
Everybody got all the flowers
I don't have one single rose
I feel a change comin' on
And the fourth part of the day's already gone
i wonder why he changed "last part of the day" to "fourth part of the day". what is the fourth part anyways and how many parts are there? lol i love this song and i think it basically means we are always changing-bob more so that the rest of us, it seems! haha my favorite stanza is the one about dreams, it's so beautiful.
It's a difficult one. Basically I think he is saying that he has been revitalised in the later part of his life.
The lyrics are incorrect, its "you are as whorish as they come"
its just a great comical yet poignant line thats why I have to correct it, I truly think Dylan is like a bottle of wine, with age he just gets better. Sure nothing is as good as Dylan circa 1966 but 2008 aint bad at all, in fact I can't get enough.
One of his hidden gems, from this 2009 album. Alright, Modern Times was a bit more sophisticated and maybe had more grounded and solid songs. But this album is still so fun! Like the other commenter already noticed, the stanza about "dreams" is beyond cool. It truly is wonderful. The whole song rocks. Not just lyrically but musically too. As for the meaning, it's whatever you make it; as always with Dylan songs. It's unlimited number of interpretations. What does it mean to me? Cherish the present moment, and leave the past behind. . . Let go of old heartbreaks, close that door and begin a new journey... Meet new people, make new acquaintances, and one of these new peoples might be your next lover... You might just not give up yet. That's what I get from it anyway. "We got so much in common We strive for the same old ends And I just can't wait Wait for us to become friends"
