Bob Dylan, Longest Days,Indianapolis 17 October 2023.

Seems like once upon a time ago

I was where I was supposed to be

My vision was true and my heart was too

There was no end to what I could dream

I walked like a hero into the setting sun

Everyone called out my name

Death to me was just a mystery

I was too busy raising up Cain

But nothing lasts forever

Your best efforts don't always pay

Sometimes you get sick and you don't get better

That's when life is short, even in its longest days

So you pretend not to notice

That everything has changed

Way that you look and the friends you once had

So you keep on acting the same

Deep down in your soul

You know you, you got no flame

And who knows then which way to go

Life is short, even in its longest days

All I got here, is a rear view mirror

Reflections of where I've been

So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day

But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway

Nothing lasts forever

And your best efforts don't always pay

Sometimes you get sick and you don't get better

That's when life is short even in its longest days

Life is short even in its longest days.
