After The Goldrush by Neil Young ======================== TELL ME WHY Sailing heartspis through broken harbours Ou ton the waves in the night Still the searcher must ride the dark horse Racinig alone in his fright. Tell me why, tell me why Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself, When your old enough to repay but young enough to sell? Tell me lies later, come and see me I'll be around for a while. I am lonely but you can free me All in the way that you smile AFTER THE GOLDRUSH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming, sayin' something about a queen. There were passants singin' and drummers drummin' and the archer split the tree. There's a fanfare blowin' to the sun that was floating on the breeze. Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies. Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies. I was lyin' in a burned out basement with the full moon in my eyes. I was hopin' for replacement when the sun burst through the sky. There was a band playin' in my head and I felt like getting high. I was thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie. Thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie. Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin' in the yellow haze of the sun, there were children cryin' and colours flyin' all around the chosen ones All in a dream, all in a dream the loading had begun. Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun. Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home. ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you were young and on your own How did it feel to be alone? I was always thinking of games the I was playing. Trying to make the best of my time. But only love can break your heart Try to be sure right from the start Yes only love can break your heart What if your world should fall apart? I have a friend I've never seen He hides his head inside a dream Someone should call him and see If he can come out. Try to lose the down that he's found. SOUTHERN MAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Southern man better keep your head Don't forget what your good book said Southern change gonna come at last Now your crosses are burning fast Southern man I saw cotton and I saw black Tall white mansions and little shacks Southern man when will you pay them back? I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking How long? How long? Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown I've seen your black man comin' round Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down! I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking How long? How long? TILL THE MORNING COMES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm gonna give you till the morning comes I'm only waiting till the morning comes OH, LONESOME ME ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everybody's going out and having fun I'm a fool for staying home and having none. I can't get over how she set me free. Oh, lonesome me. There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues Forget about my past and find someone new I've thought of everything from A to Z Oh, lonesome me. I'll bet she's not like me. She's out and fancy free, Flirting with the boys with all her charms But I still love her so, And brother don't you know I'd welcome her right back here in my arms DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Old man lying by the side of the road With the lorries rolling by, Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load And the building scrape the sky, Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn And the morning paper flies, Dead man lying by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes, Don't let it bring you down - it's only castles burnning, Find someone who's turning and you will come around. Blind man running through the light of the night With an answer in his hand, Come on down to the river of sight And you can really understand, Red lights flashing through the window in the rain, Can you hear the sirens moan? White cane lying in a gutter in the lane, If you're walking home alone, Don't let it bring you dowa - it's only castles burning, Just find someone who's turning and you will come around. BIRDS ~~~~~ Lover, there will be an other one Who'll hover over you beneath the sun Tomorrow see the things that never come Today When you see me Fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's over, it's over. Nestled in your wings my little one Is special morning brings another sun Tomorrow see the things that never come Today WHEN YOU DANCE I CAN REALLY LOVE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you dance, do your senses tingle? Then take a chance? In a trance, while the lonely mingle with circumstance? I've got something to tell you you make it show. Baby come over, I know you know When you dance I can really love. I can love, I can really love, I can really love Like a moutain that's growing a river that rolls Baby come over, I know you know I BELIEVE IN YOU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now that you found yourself losing your mind are you here again? Finding that what you once thought is real is gone, and changing? Now that you made yourself love me Do you think I can change it in a day? How can I place you above me? An I lieing to you when I say That I believe in you Coming to you at night I see my questions I feel my doubts Whishing that maybe in a year or two we could laugh aand let it all out CRIPPLE CREEK FERRY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All alone the captain stands Hasn't heard from his deck hands. The gambler tips his hat and walks towards the door. It's the second half of the cruise. And do you know he hates to lose. Hey, hey cripple creek ferry Bulling through the overhanging trees Make way for the Cripple Creek ferry The waters going down it's a mighty tight squeeze
