Time passes slowly
Up here in the mountains
We sat beside bridges
And walked beside fountains

Catch the wild fishes
That float through the stream
Times passes slowly
When you're lost in a dream

Once I had a sweetheart
She was fine and good lookin'
We sat in her kitchen
While her mama was cookin'

Starin' out the window
To the stars high above
Time passes slowly
When you're searchin' for love

Ain't no reason to go
In a wagon to town
Ain't no reason to go to the fair
Ain't no reason to go up
Ain't no reason to go down
Ain't no reason to go anywhere

Time passes slowly
Up here in the daylight
We stared straight ahead
An' tried so hard to stay right

Like a red rose of summer
That blooms in the day
Time passes slowly
Then fades away

Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman May 24, 1941), is an American singer-songwriter, writer, and artist who has influenced popular music and culture for more than five decades. Dylan has especially played a critical role in the American folk music revival.

Dylan’s songs are built from myriad political, social, philosophical and literary influences. Many of his anti-war and civil-rights-influenced songs set social unrest, as journalists widely named him the “spokesman for his generation” in the 1960s.

The musician has a signature change in voice and style in many different albums of his throughout the decades. He has notably explored and experimented with the genres of folk, rap, blues, and rock.
