B. Dylan's lyrics
Ref.: 'Blowing In The Wind'
I'd like to explore the meaning of the verse
'before it's washed to the sea' by Bob Dylan.
We know it refers to 'a mountain', but what
does 'washed to the sea' means? I mean, literally.
'Washing' should have the same meaning of the verb
in 'washing your hands' or 'making sth wet in order
to clean it'. 'To the sea' is pretty unclear because
of the preposition 'to' that I'm not really able
to interpret. Can you help me? Once again: I'm
interested in the literal meaning of the verse.
Thank you.
