Inspired by Dylan's "Death is not the end"


When You Are Sad And Lonely

When you are sad and lonely
And death holds up the end
When everything is broken
And nothing seems to mend
When skies are dark and grey
And heavy rains descend
Someone is there and listens
For every word you send

When light is out of sight
And you're the shadow's friend
When all there is is gone
And nothing's up the bend
When fate sings out of tune
And harmonies don't blend
Someone is there and bid you
A helping hand to lend

OMG! I just saw the reference to Dylan's "Death is Not the End!"
I am just finishing writing a novel where I borrowed the name of that song for the title, with Dylan's permission, of course! :)

It's lovely. It can be interpreted in a couple of different ways but I hope that there will always be a kind and gentle hand when all is dark. Thanks for sharing this with us.
