And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins
of time, far past the frozen leaves The haunted, frightened trees, out to the
windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the
diamond sky with one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the
circus sands With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves Let me
forget about today until tomorrow Has there ever been prose half as beautiful
written for a song. [Mr Tambourine Man verse 4]
I’m not going to quote it entirely, but this song has spoken to me for decades. It’s the song I used to sing my daughter while she was going to sleep. Albeit, the song her mother sang to her before she died was better (and is the first tattoo our daughter got).

Sung from a father’s lips to a daughter’s ears:
Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what
You’ve been asking me
I think you know
What I’ve been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away.
