Analysis of Paper In The Wind
'Mr tambourine man' beneath the crinkly corner of the torn curtain
I mourn, tactless emotion driven by the blind change, for certain
'Mr tambourine man' I love the way he is
His heart listened to my song, please...
Down the merchant's road, the wind carries paper, sober like cold sabre
Oh 'Mr tambourine man' I love his soul heaven my only neighbour
Touch the window, my soul with orphan and the widow
Before I hide for the night, my verse takes flight...
I Love Him
