Barbara Dickson lyrics : "The Times They Are A-changin'"

Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing


Come writers and critics who prophesise with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no telling who that it's naming
Cos the loser now will be later to win

For the times they are a-changing

Come senators, congressmen, please head the call

Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside raging

It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing


Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticise what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly ageing
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
Oh the times they are a-changing


The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast

As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now will later be last

For the times they are a-changing
For the times they are a-changing
