Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Colorado [2019]

When you see those geese in the sky
Think of me
I can spread my wings and fly just like them
And I can gallop across your open prairie
While I dive below your deepest sea
Think of me

I’m gonna live long and I’m happy
To report it back to you
It’s a window world and
I saw a sign on the highway too
As I flew over the wires
And observed you livin’
Like you haven’t had the chance to do
Think of me

Well, I’ve got to finish up
And get out of here right now
I can slither in the ditches
And cross below the roads
But when you cross your heart
And you hope to die
And your dreams come tumbling down
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me

When you see those geese in the sky
Think of me
I can spread my wings and fly just like them
I can gallop across your open prairie
While I dive below your deepest sea
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me

 

 

You might say I’m an old white guy
I’m an old white guy
You might say that

If I tell you what I see (What I see)
You might not believe me (What I see)
I saw old white guys trying to kill mother nature (What I see)

I saw old white guys trying to kill mother nature

(She showed me love)
And I know she has a way with things
(She showed me love)
And now I see the light that brings
(She showed me love)

You might say I’m a few bricks short of a load
I’m a few bricks, I’m a few bricks short of a load
You might say that

If I tell you where I’ve been (Where I’ve been)
You might think I’ve lost my mind (Where I’ve been)
I saw young folks fighting to save mother nature (Where I’ve been)
I saw them standing (Where I’ve been)
I saw them standing for themselves
I saw young folks fighting to save mother nature

(She showed me love)
And I know she has a way with things
(She showed me love)
And now I see the light that brings
(She showed me love)

You might say I’ve been down a few road
I’ve been down a few roads
You might say that

If I tell you what I see (What I’ve seen)
You might not believe me (What I’ve seen)
‘Cause I saw mother nature pushing Earth in a baby carriage
In a baby carriage
I saw mother nature pushing Earth in a baby carriage

Where have you been, my long-lost friend?
We haven’t talked since way back when
And how is life with your new love
I hope she’s something from above

Something happened yesterday
I need to talk to you
Now I’m finding out you moved away
I’m reaching out to you today

I saw you walking in the past
You said your love would always last
Then I saw you all alone
Said your heart had turned to stone

Nothing matters anyway
I thought I heard her say to you
Nothing matters anyway
Then she walked away from you

There was laughter in the air
The children all were there
Playing in the warming sun
Counting dreamers, one-by-one

I’m living in the olden days
I found my friends along the way
Some are here with me right now
Some have disappeared somehow

Where did all the people go?
Why did they fade away from me?
They meant so much to me and now I know
That they’re here to stay in my heart

 

 

Nothing bothers me ’cause I’m so happy
Might look like it does, but that means nothing
I got a face that gets me in trouble
I got a voice that does its damage
But I’m rescued now and this is all in my head
I gotta win somehow and lose this mind instead
It’s always working on finding my weakness
How I was made to feel and can’t forget
Can’t forget
Can’t forget
Can’t forget

I try to make my way past this moment
Move along till I’m new again
I got my history they won’t believe in
I gotta get somewhere [?]
I gotta find a new television
Got to find a new display system
To make the sky look like the Earth is flattened
I gotta get someone to sort this out
Out for me
Out for me
Out for me

Won’t someone help me lose my mind?
Won’t someone help me lose my mind?
Won’t someone help me lose my mind?

I gotta find myself a new television
Gotta get a new display system
Make the sky look like the Earth is flattened
I gotta get someone to sort this out for me
Out for me
Out for me
Out for me

Won’t someone help me lose my mind?
Won’t someone help me lose my mind?
Won’t someone help me lose my mind?

 

 

We watch the old news
Distracted as they talked on and on in the usual way
About the latest lies, deceptions
We saw tomorrow, we long for a better day

And I know why green is blue
There’s so much we didn’t do
Oh, I know why green is blue

We heard the warning calls, ignored them
We saw the weather change, we saw the fires and floods
We saw the people rise, divided
We fought each other while we lost our coveted prize

There’s so much we didn’t do
That we knew we had to do
And we know why green is blue

We watched the species die, we saw the coral turning
We watched the oceans rise
We saw the pot of whales lay bloated
On the shore where they baked, but we missed that sign
We saw the polar bear, she floated
On a piece of ice from another time

So I know

 

 

Have to shut the whole system down
Have to shut the whole system down
People tryin’ to save this earth
From an ugly death
Have to shut the whole system down
People tryin’ to live, working
In a world of meat factories

Have to shut the whole system down
All around the planet
There’s a blindness that just can’t see
Have to shut the whole system down
They’re all wearing climate change
As cool as they can be

Have to shut the whole system down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down

Have to shut the whole system down
That’s the only way we can all be free
Have to shut the whole system down
Start again and build it for eternity

Have to shut the whole system down
What about the animals?
What about the birds and bees?
Have to shut the whole system down
What about the bookshelves?
What about the history?

Have to shut the whole system down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down

Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down

Have to shut the whole system down
When I look at the future
I see hope for you and me
Have to shut the whole system down
Working, working for eternity
Work it now

Have to shut the whole system down
When I look at the future
I see hope for you and me
Have to shut the whole system down
Working for eternity

Gonna shut the whole system down
Got to shut the whole system down
Got to shut the whole system down

 

 

She was lookin’ like a friend of mine
The first time I saw her face
I was approaching at the end of the line
The first time I ever saw her smile at me that way

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories
That weren’t that day
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide
With memory but somehow
I survived
And became free

She was walking like she knew
Where she was going
Walking like she knew
She was walking right up to me

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories
That weren’t that day
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide
With memory but somehow
I survived
And became free

The starry night
with no moonshine
The day without a cloud
A long ladder
but no one climbing
A stranger in the crowd

There’s a mermaid in the Milky Way
With an ocean liner
There’s no moon tonight so you might see her
And her ocean liner
Up in the stars

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories
That weren’t that day
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide
With memory but somehow
I survived
And became free

 

 

Woke up this morning in a house of love
The birds were singing in the sky above
The dogs were barking and the deer were free
And we were living in a house of love

Woke up this morning in a house of love
Oh, fortunately
I hope we’re living in a house of love
For eternity

Eternity
Eternity
Eternity
Eternity

Then we were ridin’ in my old car
Along the coast and under the stars
Your hair was blowing and the top was down
And we were heading to my hometown

We kept rolling ’cause you can’t go back
Got stopped at the railroad track
The train of love was rolling by
I reached over and touched you hand

Waitin’ on the train of love
Train of love
Train of love
Eternity

 

 

There’s a rainbow of colors
In the old USA
No one’s gonna whitewash
Those colors away

Now I know some might tell me
That there’s not room for all
And they should just go back
To their place and stay far
Where their lives lie there broken
There’s no chance left at all
And the leaders have spoken
On that side of the wall

There’s a rainbow of colors
In the old USA
No one’s gonna whitewash
Those colors away

But this I can tell you
We the people are strong
And we know that our brothers
And our sisters in song
Will always sing with us
And will always be strong
When the people have spoken
And the walls are all gone

There’s a rainbow of colors
In the old USA
No one’s gonna whitewash
Those colors away

 

 

Show me that garden in the sun that you saw
Let me see the flowers and the bees before they fall

I know that you says they’ll always be there
I know you’re not worried and I know you care
And I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do
I do

Show me that flock of birds that filled the sky
Let me see the way they block the sun from my eye

I know you said they’d always be there
I know you’re not worried, I know you care
I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do
I do

Why do I believe in you?
Why do I believe in you?
Why do I believe in you?

Show me that water in the stream that you saw
Let me see the sparkling clean and the fish swimming on

I know you said they’ll always be there
I know you’re not worried, I know you care
I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do
I do
I do

Thanks for making all this happen again
We’re gonna do it just like we did back then

I know that you said you’d always be there
And I know you’re not worried, and I know you care
I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do
I do
I do

Why do I believe in you?
Why do I believe in you?
Why do I believe in you?
