Robert hunter very much talks in the past in lyric (mining, cowboys, grovenor square, soldiers and sailors). This use of past time makes it easy for me to see the timelessness of the messages. "The Plowman" makes me think of the toil of work I've done, the beads of sweat on my brow in this florida weather. I can be hating it, but I see the value of the work when I think of these lyrics, it let's me know its normal. "The Woodcutters Daughter" is a beautiful classic portrait of a woman, who is concerned with her family (I would guess the water was for some familial purpose). "We make what we made since the world began." All this stuff is timeless, it'll happen again and again.

Except this was John Barlow and Bob Weir. I don't think Hunter had anything to do with this one. Good post though!
