Red River Shore Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Maling 

Cover art for Red River Shore lyrics by Bob Dylan

For me this is about an ageing human being knowing that death is inevitable. He is looking back at what he secretly wished might have been -with a girl whom he met and fell in love with. Sadly, it is a tale of unrequited love and who reading this has not had this experience. The genius that Bob is puts this into words mere mortals are incapable of doing. I thank God I lived in a time this great man gave us such profound wisdom.
