Neil Young : Second Song

Out on the foggy edge of time I was flying low into my prime I was looking back, not looking good When I left my old neighborhood behind I thought about the early days When I was young and found that place Three beautiful children born and raised But there were bumps along the way Alcohol, alcohol (Alcohol) Alcohol, alcohol (Alcohol, alcohol) I was heading south to my destiny As I closed the gate, I threw the key Though the future was unsure I'd already made up my mind That's the day I started to live The way I wanted to Just to give my life a chance I know now that I had to go Leave everything I love behind Out on the foggy edge of time Out on the foggy edge of time Out on the foggy edge of time Out on the foggy edge of time (Alright)

Day After Day

This isn't a fast song, so fade it up I want to say something that came to me in the night of day Just let me get a grip and let it go There's nothing worth waiting on, so we should go Day after day after day Day after day after day All through the restless night, I thought of this Why we were not so good, and now I know There's something I want to say, and say it slow I'm a little scared of it, so here it goes Day after day after day Day after day after day The morning is sunny now, with lots of snow It's beautiful, the way we love to see it so I'll take my time to tell you what I have to say Feelings that I have for you will stay and stay Day after day after day Day after day after day The love I feel in my heart is here today Strong, just the way I felt for you yesterday There's something in my heart that shows it will always love you so Day after day after day Day after day after day Day after day after day So let's take a turn together and let it go We're still the ones we used to be, and so it shows The way I feel, so fade it up and let it come free Day after day after day Day after day after day I hope you're alright, alright today And everything is easy and going well There was a struggle going on yesterday Let's try to get a grip now and let it go Day after day after day Day after day after day Now the sun is out and the snow's melting on the roof I hear the water drops falling, so the day is here You'll be coming down the stairs, and I'll make a special cup for you Yeah, the sun is out, the snow's melting on the roof Day after day after day Day after day after day Day after day after day Day after day after day Day after day after day Day after day after day

Earth Girl

When the love comes through your eyes Like sun from the summer skies The space between your deepest thoughts Like stars in the night, big stars in the night Winter winds blowing through your hair In your eyes, I don't see a care You are the light of my life Like a river that flows right through my heart Earth girl Earth girl You sure were hard to find All around me all the time Smiling in the windy rain With so much to share, so much to share You're the beauty that lingers Outside my eyes When you smile, when you smile When you smile Earth girl Earth girl You are the light of my life Like a river that flows right through my heart You were hard to find All around me all the time You're the beauty that lingers outside my Heart when you smile, my eyes when you smile When the tears come through your eyes Like rain from the winter skies You are the light of my life Like a river that flows right through my heart Earth girl Earth girl Earth girl You are the light of my life Like a river that flows right through my heart

Second Song

Out on the edge of darkness, the children waited for sunrise Something they could believe in, something to see with their own eyes Their moms and dads remembered 'cause they had seen a different time A time of sunny mornings, walking to school and saving dimes And yet the leaves are falling, gathered in piles to burn outside Somehow the smoke is calling, somehow the embers will decide And that's not the way of being, it's not the way of being now Too much has changed around us, but we can bring it back somehow I need to talk to someone, someone who smiles and answers back Someone as old as I am who still remembers some of that I dream a way of living, a way of sharing what we find A way of walking slowly through the smoky leaves of time When I woke up this morning, I heard a melody and a rhyme I knew the song was over, but I couldn't find the time The words just tumbled forward in this second song of mine Drifting in a sea of darkness, the captain waited for sunrise Thought he saw a mermaid coming off the bow and rubbed his eyes Thought he saw a distant glowing, songbirds playing in the sky But his eyes were playing tricks on him, in his heart he wondered why Cross town at the incubator, eggs were hatching everywhere Those birds would soon be flying, they knew that's when they'd feel the air We won't remember them 'cause we're the ones who didn't care Now when we think of them, we hear their songs sung everywhere The world needs all her song birds, she needs her music in the sky Guiding souls both in and out, showing weakness how to fly Not like that TV show, not like the words on channel five Something that makes you smile, something that makes you fly Make it up on another day Baby, I don't care Make it up on another day Baby, I don't care Make it up on another day Baby, I don't care Make it up on another day Baby, I don't care

Casting Me Away From You

We used to laugh and play games together We found things to do in stormy weather But now I find you're leaving me behind Casting me away from you I try to tell myself it doesn't matter I can find someone who'll treat me better But now I find you're leaving me behind Casting me away from you You're not the kind of girl I dream of You're not the kind of girl who'd care You're not the kind of girl I want for my own But then I see you standing there I try to tell myself it doesn't matter I can find someone who'll treat me better But now I find you're leaving me behind Casting me away from you But now I find you're leaving me behind Casting me away from you

Soon I Might Be Going

Soon I might be going, so I wanted you to know It was Christmas in the Rockies, just like summer with no snow Crimson Pirate was showing at the movies, new one you should see Water shone like diamonds and the ships kept rowing on the sea The answer to our questions is lingering in the mist And the revolution's come like a fighter with a fist Soon I might be going, so I wanted you to know The sun's sure hot today in Canada, wherever people go They're looking at the sky like they're waiting for a change The clouds that used to pour the rain are billowy and strange Yeah, that's the way I see it, and I wanted just to say People like you and me are feeling different every day President was on TV, says everything is golden He's tearing down the old White House, those days were never olden The bears are trying to hibernate but can't find where to go 'Cause everything is different now just like a TV show We have to take it as it comes, as some are like to say But you know, and it seems to me, that's not what's right today I miss you like tomorrow and I see you like today I wanted to say something before I go away I went to town the other day and saw what it's become The houses are all going down with hotels all around People are driving their new cars and the kids are leaving town Shopping is everywhere and the club is shutting down Soon I might be going, and I wanted just to say If I'm not here to see it, it doesn't mean it's gone away Trying to make it simple, but I tell you, it's not 'Cause here and there and everywhere, the truth is getting caught And disguised like a celebration waiting for a song But no one knows the melody and it feels like it was strong When we all sang together and the children sang along

Instrumental Break

Yes, soon I will be going, but I wanted just to stay around And see what I can do to sing a happy song today With you, and you, and everyone who feels the melody Echoing in the hallways, and soon to be a dream Come back to me, my lovely girl, your memory is mine I'm walking down the old street where we once had the time I gotta tell you what I see 'cause I might be alone, the sky is turning To yesterday, the old church bells tolled, soon I might be going And I wanted to say hello, there's a mystery around us And the answer no one knows It's like summer in the Rockies, but it's almost Christmas day Summer in the Rockies, almost Christmas day Summer in the Rockies Summer in the Rockies

I'll Love You Forever

As I walk beside the sea on the golden sand I can feel your love for me as I hold your hand Oh, I'm so happy that I found your love And I will always thank the stars up above You're just the kind of girl that I wanted you to be And I'll thank the heavens above for sending you to me Oh, I'm so happy that I found your love And I will always thank the stars up above I'll love you forever And idolize (and idolize) The way you comb your hair Your laughing eyes (Your laughing eyes) (Your laughing eyes) The breeze from the tossing sea is reminding me That I'll feel the touch of your lips for eternity Oh, I'm so happy I found your love And I will always thank the stars up above I'll love you forever And idolize (and idolize) The way you comb your hair Your laughing eyes (Your laughing eyes) (your laughing eyes) (Your laughing eyes) The breeze from the tossing sea is reminding me That I'll feel the touch of your lips for eternity Oh, I'm so happy I found your love And I will always thank the stars up above The stars up above The stars up above Your laughing eyes (Your laughing eyes) (Your laughing eyes)
