They say everything can be replaced They say every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say every man must fall So, I swear I see my reflection Somewhere inside these walls I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released

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 savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers and critics Who prophesize 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 tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come, congressmen senators Please heed 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 and it is ragin' It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'. Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. 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 fadin' And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'.

music merch video edit navigation bar Where We Both Belong by Gary Weiner Wishlist 00:00 / 04:56 Streaming + Download Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. $1 USD or more about This wonderful song was written by my dear old friend and frequent musical compatriot Larry Heiman, copyright 1976. With a bit of editorial help, I added the last two verses as additional lyrics to prepare the song for the new arrangement and to recognize the passage of more than 40 years. Deeply grateful to have such support! Dedicated to my mother and father, Al and Phyllis Weiner, the best parents I could have hoped for. As of this publication, dad was 95 and mom would soon be 93. Toward the end of January, my father died. A few days later I posted the video on Facebook announcing his death. This is that post: Early this morning my family and my friends who knew them lost my sweet father Albert Weiner. He died in relative peace with my mother sleeping right near him as always. I posted this video before, I know. I am proud of it, but the real power of its meaning in my life came a few weeks ago when I showed it to mom and dad at the dinner table. Dad was sitting in his wheelchair and I asked mom to move her chair next to his side so they could both see it on my laptop. After they had seen 2/3 of the piece, my father, his hand trembling with Parkinson's, reached out to take hers, and their hands now trembling together, he held her hand in his lap as the video came to the end. This moment is how I choose to encode the last days of their marvelous marriage which has lasted from March 30th, 1946. Six weeks after dad returned from 3 years at war during which mom waited and waited for his return. I will miss him terribly. He was a beautiful man. (Video coming soon!) lyrics WHERE WE BOTH BELONG (copyright 1976 Larry Heiman with additional lyrics and arranged by Gary Weiner) VERSE 1 Sometimes we talk a lot Go for a walk around the block And come back where we started from I wonder where we've gone Using words so perfectly To hide our insecurity Your presence means so much to me I'd like to carry on VERSE 2 Sometimes in the morning I turn and without warning You’re inside of me And I can see It's where we both belong There are battles fought without a shot And notes without a song We’re both aware of what we share And need to carry on CHORUS 1 Hey don't you remember When I found you in my bed Filling up my empty arms And turning round my head Sometimes it seems like yesterday Sometimes it seems so far away VERSE 3 I wonder when it's dark outside You're still lying by my side, I'm amazed to see that we survived That all those years have gone. I don't know now, didn't then How love would grow and roads would bend But I would do it all again We need to carry on. CHORUS 2 REFRAIN VERSE Sometimes when it’s dark outside I see you lying by my side I wonder just how we survived Where all those years have gone We’ve walked so far and back again Through sun and storm and shifting sand Yet I remember where and when I knew we’d carry on
