Coalminer,
Thanks for that,
I agree that sometimes you don't need to spell out the lyrics for people to like the song. People will usually adapt the meaning to suit their own experiences. I mean, you could write a song about someone dying and that would have different meanings to a large number of people. Maybe to a young child it could be the death of a pet dog, but to us old folks it opens up a much larger group of memories.
Mostof Bob Dylans lyrics are really obscure but I'll bet most of them hit home to somebody.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
