"And they're gonna write what it's about".
1:37:04
Oh, the time will come up
1:37:06
When the winds will stop
1:37:08
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
1:37:13
Like the stillness in the wind
1:37:15
Before the hurricane begins
1:37:17
The hour that the ship comes in
1:37:21
And the sea will split
1:37:23
And the ships will hit
1:37:25
And the sands on the shoreline
will be shaking

1:37:28
Bob would write.
Just write and write and write.

1:37:31
And one time, we pulled into someplace...
1:37:33
and I was okay by then.
Bare feet or not, I was famous.

1:37:37
But this scruffy-looking guy I had with me...
1:37:40
and the people behind the desk
were having none of it...

1:37:42
and they said they didn't have a room.
1:37:45
And now, of course, I was livid...
1:37:47
and pulled all my punches,
and got him a room.

1:37:52
And he wrote a song
that just was devastating:

1:37:56
The Hour The Ship Comes In.
1:37:58
And I could see him hanging them all.
1:37:59
He'd never sort of fess up to that sort of
thing, but that's what it seemed like to me.

1:38:04
Working out whatever feelings...
1:38:07
he might have had
about not being given a room...

1:38:10
in a brilliant song, in one night.
1:38:13
And they'll raise their hands
1:38:15
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
1:38:17
There'll be a shout from the bow,
"Your days are numbered"

1:38:21
And like Pharaoh's tribe
1:38:23
They'll be drownded in the tide
1:38:25
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
1:38:45
You had country folks and city folks there.
1:38:47
We purposely tried to mix it up at Newport.
