After The Gold Rush

Neil Young - After The Goldrush




Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing, and drummers drumming,
And the archers split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun,
There 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 the 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 spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun.
There was 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.back to top
