| Neil Young Solo Lyrics |
| A Man Needs A Maid My life is changing in so many ways, I don't know who to trust anymore. There's a shadow running through my days like a beggar going from door to door. I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid, find a place nearby for her to stay. Just someone to keep my house clean, fix my meals and go away. A maid, a man needs a maid. A maid. It's hard to make that change when life and love turns strange and old. To give a love, you gotta live a love. To live a love, you gotta be, "part of." When will I see you again? A while ago somewhere, I don't know when, I was watching a movie with a friend. I fell in love with the actress, she was playing a part that I could understand. A maid, a man needs a maid. A maid. When will I see you again? After the Gold Rush Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming, saying something about a queen. There were peasants singing and drummers drumming and the archer split the tree. There was a fanfare blowing 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 lying in a burned out basement with the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement when the sun burst through the sky. There was a band playing in my head and I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie. Well, I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying in the yellow haze of the sun. There were children crying and colors flying 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. Broken Arrow The lights turned on and the curtain fell down. And when it was over it felt like a dream, they stood at the stage door and begged for a scream. The agents had paid for the black limousine that waited outside in the rain. Did you see them, did you see them? Did you see them in the river? They were there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quivered, brown skinned Indian on the banks that were crowded and narrow held a broken arrow? Eighteen years of American dream. He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall, he hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall, his mother had told him a trip was a fall and don't mention babies at all. Did you see him, did you see him? Did you see him in the river? He was there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quivered, brown skinned Indian on the banks that were crowded and narrow held a broken arrow? The streets were lined for the wedding parade. The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song, the black covered caisson her horses had drawn protected her King from the sun rays of dawn. They married for peace and were gone. Did you see them, did you see them? Did you see them in the river? They were there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quivered, brown skinned Indian on the banks that were crowded and narrow held a broken arrow? Cinnamon Girl I wanna live with a cinnamon girl. I could be happy the rest of my life with a cinnamon girl. A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night. You see us together, chasing the moonlight, my cinnamon girl. Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow, the drummer relaxes and waits between shows for his cinnamon girl. A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night. You see us together, chasing the moonlight, my cinnamon girl. Pa sent me money now, I'm gonna make it somehow, I need another chance. You see your baby loves to dance, yeah, yeah, yeah. Down To The Wire Every time you touch her, sets your hands on fire. And every thing you've got is all that she requires. And you hang on, hang on, hang on to the words of a liar. You can feel it getting down to the wire. All the hurt you thought was gone has now returned, and every thing she's laughing at is all you learned. And you let go, let go, let go cause you know you're getting tired. Can you feel it getting down to the wire? Take the time to close your eyes and look around, cause anyone who helped you out can let you down. And look out, look out, look out, the voice is now the choir. Can you feel it getting down to the wire? Expecting To Fly There you stood on the edge of your feather, expecting to fly. While I laughed, I wondered whether I could wave goodbye, knowing that you'd gone. By the summer it was healing, we had said goodbye. All the years we'd spent with feeling ended with a cry. Babe, ended with a cry, babe, ended with a cry. I tried so hard to stand as I stumbled and fell to the ground. So hard to laugh as I fumbled and reached for the love I found, knowing it was gone. If I never lived without you, now you know I'd die. If I never said I loved you, now you know I'd try. Babe, now you know I'd try, babe, now you know I'd try, babe. From Hank To Hendrix From Hank to Hendrix, I walked these streets with you. Here I am with this old guitar, doing what I do. I always expected that you should see me through. I never believed in much but I believed in you. Can we get it together, can we still stand side by side? Can we make it last like a musical ride? From Marilyn to Madonna, I always loved your smile. Now we're headed for the big divorce, California-style. I found myself singing like a long-lost friend. The same thing that makes you live can kill you in the end. Can we get it together, can we still stand side by side? Can we make it last like a musical ride? Sometime it's distorted, not clear to you. Sometimes the beauty of love just comes ringing through. New glass in the window, new leaf on the tree, new distance between us, you and me. Can we get it together, can we still stand side by side? Can we make it last like a musical ride? Harvest Did I see you down in a young girl's town with your mother in so much pain? I was almost there at the top of the stairs with her screaming in the rain. Did she wake you up to tell you that it was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup with the promise of a man. Did I see you walking with the boys, though it was not hand in hand? And was some black face in a lonely place when you could understand? Did she wake you up to tell you that it was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup with the promise of a man. Will I see you give more than I can take? Will I only harvest some? As the days fly past will we lose our grasp or fuse it in the sun? Did she wake you up to tell you that it was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup with the promise of a man. Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup with the promise of a man. Harvest Moon Come a little bit closer, hear what I have to say. Just like children sleeping, we could dream this night away. But there's a full moon rising, let's go dancing in the light. We know where the music's playing, let's go out and feel the night. Because I'm still in love with you, I want to see you dance again, because I'm still in love with you on this harvest moon. When we were strangers, I watched you from afar. When we were lovers, I loved you with all my heart. But now it's getting late and the moon is climbing high. I want to celebrate, see it shining in your eyes. Because I'm still in love with you, I want to see you dance again, because I'm still in love with you on this harvest moon. Because I'm still in love with you, I want to see you dance again, because I'm still in love with you on this harvest moon. Heart Of Gold I want to live, I want to give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions I never give that keep me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old. I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood, I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold. I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line that keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old.. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold, you keep me searching and I'm growing old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold, I've been a miner for a heart of gold. Like A Hurricane Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar, dancing on the light from star to star. Far across the moonbeam, I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. You are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eye. And I'm getting blown away to somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, you could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips, that perfect feeling when time just slips away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eye. And I'm getting blown away to somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream. You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips, that perfect feeling when time just slips away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eye. And I'm getting blown away to somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. Long May You Run We've been through some things together with trunks of memories still to come. We found things to do in stormy weather, long may you run. Long may you run, long may you run, although these changes have come. With your chrome heart shining in the sun, long may you run. Well, it was back in Blind River in 1962 when I last saw you alive. But we missed that shift on the long decline, long may you run. Long may you run, long may you run, although these changes have come. With your chrome heart shining in the sun, long may you run. Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now with those waves singing "Caroline" Rolling down that empty ocean road, getting to the surf on time. Long may you run, long may you run, although these changes have come. With your chrome heart shining in the sun, long may you run. Long may you run, long may you run, although these changes have come. With your chrome heart shining in the sun, long may you run. My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) My my, hey hey rock and roll is here to stay. It's better to burn out than to fade away, my my, hey hey. Out of the blue and into the black, they give you this, but you pay for that. And once you're gone, you can never come back when you're out of the blue and into the black. The king is gone but he's not forgotten. This is the story of a Johnny Rotten. It's better to burn out than it is to rust, the king is gone but he's not forgotten. Hey hey, my my, rock and roll can never die. There's more to the picture than meets the eye, hey hey, my my. Old Man Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man, look at my life, twenty-four and there's so much more. Live alone in a paradise that makes me think of two. Love lost, such a cost, give me things that don't get lost, like a coin that won't get tossed, rolling home to you. Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you, I need someone to love me the whole day through. Have one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Lullabies, look in your eyes, run around the same old town. Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you. I've been first and last, look at how the time goes past. But I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you. Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you, I need someone to love me the whole day through. Have one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. One Of These Days One of these days, I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter to all the good friends I've known. And I'm gonna try and thank them all for the good times together, though so apart we've grown. One of these days, I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter to all the good friends I've known. One of these days, one of these days, one of these days, and it won't be long, it won't be long. And I'm gonna thank, that old country fiddler and all those rough boys who play that rock 'n' roll. I never tried to burn any bridges though I know I let some good things go. One of these days, I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter to all the good friends I've known. One of these days, one of these days, one of these days, and it won't be long, it won't be long. From down in L.A. all the way to Nashville, from New York City to my Canadian prairie home, my friends are scattered like leaves from an old maple. Some are weak, some are strong. One of these days, I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter to all the good friends I've known. One of these days, one of these days, one of these days, and it won't be long, it won't be long. One of these days, one of these days, one of these days, and it won't be long, it won't be long. 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 that 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. 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. Yes, only love can break your heart. Yes, only love can break your heart... Rockin' In The Free World There's colors on the street, red, white and blue. People shuffling their feet, people sleeping in their shoes. But there's a warning sign on the road ahead. There's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead. Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them, so I try to forget it, any way I can. Keep on rockin' in the free world, keep on rockin' in the free world. Keep on rockin' in the free world, keep on rockin' in the free world. I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand under an old street light near a garbage can. Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit, she hates her life, and what she's done to it. There's one more kid that will never go to school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Keep on rockin' in the free world, keep on rockin' in the free world. Keep on rockin' in the free world, keep on rockin' in the free world. We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand. We got department stores and toilet paper, got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says, keep hope alive, got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. Keep on rockin' in the free world, keep on rockin' in the free world. Keep on rockin' in the free world, keep on rockin' in the free world. Silver And Gold Working hard every day, never notice how the time slips away. People come, seasons go, we got something that'll never grow old. I don't care if the sun don't shine and the rain comes pouring down on me and mine, cause our kind of love never seems to get old, it's better than silver and gold. I used to have a treasure chest, got so heavy that I had to rest. I let it slip away from me, didn't need it anyway so I let it slip away. I don't care if the sun don't shine and the rain comes pouring down on me and mine, cause our kind of love never seems to get old, it's better than silver and gold. I don't care if the sun don't shine and the rain comes pouring down on me and mine, cause our kind of love never seems to get old, it's better than silver and gold. The Loner He's a perfect stranger, like a cross of himself and a fox. He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the ways he talks. He's the unforeseen danger and the keeper of the key to the locks. Know when you see him, nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, it's the loner. If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car, watching you move until he knows, he knows who you are. When you get off at your station alone, he'll know that you are. Know when you see him, nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, it's the loner. There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago. She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go. On the day that she left, he died, but it did not show. Know when you see him, nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, it's the loner. The Needle And The Damage Done I caught you knocking at my cellar door. "I love you, baby, can I have some more", ooh, ooh, the damage done. I hit the city and I lost my band, I watched the needle take another man. Gone, gone, the damage done. I sing the song because I love the man. I know that some of you don't understand. Milk-blood to keep from running out. I've seen the needle and the damage done, a little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a setting sun. Unknown Legend She used to work in a diner, never saw a woman look finer. I used to order just to watch her float across the floor. She grew up in a small town, never put her roots down. Daddy always kept moving, so she did too. Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley-Davidson, her long blonde hair flying in the wind. She's been running half her life, the chrome and steel she rides colliding with the very air she breathes, the air she breathes. You know it ain't easy, you got to hold on. She was an unknown legend in her time. Now she's dressing two kids, looking for a magic kiss, she gets the far-away look in her eyes. Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley-Davidson, her long blonde hair flying in the wind. She's been running half her life, the chrome and steel she rides colliding with the very air she breathes, the air she breathes. Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley-Davidson, her long blonde hair flying in the wind. She's been running half her life, the chrome and steel she rides colliding with the very air she breathes, the air she breathes. |
