For Haruki Murakami...

Winning isn't everything!

For Haruki Murakami...

 

How many words must a man write down

Before they give him the prize?

How many scenes must he write on the page

Before his vision is realised?

Yes, and how many times must his fans' hopes fly

Before they are satisfied?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

 

Yes, and how many years must a man draw breath

Before he can smell the Stockholm air?

Yes, and how many years must some writers work

Before they're allowed to be there?

Yes, and how many times can a man shake his head

And pretend that he just doesn't care?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.
