Written in 1962, the song contains one of Dylan‘s most insightful lyrics “the pellets of poison are flooding the waters” which way back then he offered that the line referred to the lies people get from what has become to be known as the mainstream media.

This song looks so familiar. Then just find out it is the same tune as "Danny Boy".
Other lyrics have been written to the tune, but none of them are as well known as "Danny Boy". "You Raise Me Up" (sung by Josh Groban on his album "Closer") is a different tune, even though large parts of it are very similar to the "Londonderry Air".
'Danny Boy', aka 'The Derry Air', aka 'The Londonderry Air', is the city's single most famous export. It is also probably the most-recorded Irish song of all time and has served as a national anthem for the Irish, Irish-Americans, Irish-Canadians and Irish-Australians.

Weather Report, the Dead.
Winter rain, now tell me why, Summers fade, and roses die.
The answer came; the wind and rain.
Golden hills, now veiled in gray, Summer leaves have blown away
Now what remains? The wind and rain.
And like a desert spring, my lover comes and spreads her wings, Knowing,
Like a song that's born to soar the sky, Flowing,
Flowing 'til the waters all are dry, Growing, the loving in her eyes.
