When I Hang It Up, Look for This Song to Be the Last Post

You love Bob. I love Bob. This version, performed about fifty years after he wrote it, comes from Frank Sinatra's 80th birthday tribute. Lyrics below:Restless FarewellBob DylanOh, all the money that in my whole life I did spendBe it mine right or wrongfullyI let it slip gladly to friendsTo tie up the time most forcefullyBut the bottles are doneWe've killed each oneAnd the table's full and overflowedAnd the corner signSays it's closing timeSo I'll bid farewell and be down the roadOh, ev'ry girl that ever I've touchedI did not do it harmfullyAnd ev'ry girl that ever I've hurtI did not do it knowin'lyBut to remain as friendsYou need the time to make amendsAnd stay behindAnd since my feet are now fastAnd point away from the pastI'll bid farewell and be down the lineOh, ev'ry foe that ever I facedThe cause was there before we cameAnd ev'ry cause that ever I foughtI fought it full without regret or shameBut the dark does dieAs the curtain is drawn and somebody's eyesMust meet the dawnAnd if I see the dayI'd only have to staySo I'll bid farewell in the night and be goneOh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mindI might go insane if it couldn't be sprungBut it's not to stand naked under unknowin' eyesIt's for myself and my friends my stories are sungBut the time ain't tallYet on time you depend and no word is possessedBy no special friendAnd though the line is cutIt ain't quite the endI'll just bid farewell till we meet againOh, a false clock tries to tick out my timeTo disgrace, distract, and bother meAnd the dirt of gossip blows into my faceAnd the dust of rumors covers meBut if the arrow is straightAnd the point is slickIt can pierce through dust no matter how thickSo I'll make my standAnd remain as I amAnd bid farewell and not give a damn
