The Times They are not A-changing

 

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in

 

-Thoreau

 

If the times they really are a-changing

Then they were never relevant, nor can they be

Love is not measured with a fine Martian watch

Nor do Sinai or Olympus count the minutes

 

The dances of the planets need no batteries

Galaxies do not bother with the news

The Torah can never be outdated

(Nor can Bob, but that’s for another not-time)

 

If the times they really are a-changing

Then this moment with you can have no meaning
