If you find someone

Can only really blip one subject-matter today ...

... I saw Bob Dylan in the late 1980's at the NEC in Birmingham - he classically never said a single word to the audience that night, but his musical performance was utterly, utterly spellbinding.

Here are the lyrics from a Dylan song, as taken from the pictured 1969 album "Nashville Skyline", which I still own in old-fashioned vinyl:


I Threw It All Away

I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away

Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through every day
I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away

Love is all there is, it makes the world go 'round
Love and only love, it can't be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just won't be able to do without it
Take a tip from one who's tried

So if you find someone that gives you all of her love
Take it to your heart, don't let it stray
For one thing that's certain
You will surely be a-hurtin'
If you throw it all away

If you throw it all away

Bob Dylan (1941 - )
