Neil Young
Helpless (Live)
[Intro]
It's real nice to be here tonight
I hope everybody's feeling good
This song here means a lot to me, 'cause, uh
I got a— a note from a— from a passing friend of mine
Once about it and he says that he thought it was a really fine song
It's a guy I really respected a lot, you know
And I'd like to do this song for him
He isn't here tonight, so I won't tell you who he is

[Verse 1]
There is a town in North Ontario
With dream, comfort, memory to spare
And in my mind, I still need a place to go
And all my changes were there

[Verse 2]
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
The big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes, our eyes

[Chorus]
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby, can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door
Oh, baby, baby, sing with me somehow, me somehow
[Verse 2]
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
The big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes leave us

[Outro]
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless

[Interlude]
Thank you
