[Verse 1: Neil Young]
Ain't it hard when you wake up in the morning
And you find out that those other days are gone
All you have is memories of happiness
Lingering on

[Chorus: Neil Young & Emmylou Harris]
All your dreams and your lovers won't protect you
They're only passing through you in the end
They'll leave script of all that they can get to
And wait for you to come back again

[Verse 2: Neil Young]
It's still a light is shining
From that lantern down the hall
Maybe of Star of Bethlehem
Wasn't a star at all
