Neil Young
After the Gold Rush (Live 11/11/76)
[Verse 1]
Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor comin'
Sayin' something about a queen
There were peasants singin' and drummers drummin'
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
That floated on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 1970s
We got Mother Nature on the run in the 1970s
[Verse 2]
I was lyin' in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eye
I was hopin' for replacement
When the sun burst though the sky
Thеre was a band playin' in my head
And I felt likе getting high
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'
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
Flyin' Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
We were flyin' Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home
