Comes a time. Neil Young.

1. Goin' back.

In a foreign land there were creatures at play, running hand in hand, leading nowhere to stay, driven to the mountains high, they were sunken in the cities deep, living in my sleep.

I feel like goin' back, back where there's nowhere to stay, when fire fills the sky, I'll still remember that day, these rocks I'm climbin' down have already left the ground, careening through space.

I used to build these buildings, I used to walk next to you, their shadows tore us apart and now we do what we do, driven to the mountains high, sunken in the cities deep, living in our sleep.

I feel like goin' back, back where there's nowhere to stay, I feel like goin' back, back where there's nowhere to stay, I feel like goin' back, back where there's nowhere to stay.


2. Comes a time.

Comes a time when you're driftin', comes a time when you settle down, comes a light, feelin's liftin', lift that baby right up off the ground. Oh, this old world keeps spinning round, it's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down, there comes a time.

You and I, we were captured, we took our souls and we flew away, we were right, we were giving, that's how we kept what we gave away. Oh, this old world keeps spinning round, it's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down, there comes a time.

Oh, this old world keeps spinning round, it's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down, there comes a time…


3. Look out for my love.

There's a lot to learn for wastin' time, there's a heart that burns, there's an open mind. Look out for my love, look out for my love, look out for my love, look out for my love, you own it, you own it now, you own it.

There's a weight on you but you can't feel it, living like I do, it's hard for you to see it, was I hurt too bad, can I show you daylight, how could I be sad when I know that you might. Look out for my love, look out for my love, look out for my love, look out for my love, look out for my love, it's in your neighborhood, I know things are gonna change but I can't say bad or good.

Silver wings of morning shinin' in the gray day while the ice is forming on a lonely runway, hydraulic wipers pumpin' 'til the window glistens, somethin' sayin' something, no one seems to listen, men with walkie-talkies, men with flashlights waving, up upon the tower time reads daylight savings, I'm home again to you babe, you know it makes me wonder, sitting in the quiet slipstream in the thunder. Look out for my love, look out for my love, look out for my love, look out for my love.


4. Lotta love.

It's gonna take a lotta love to change the way things are, it's gonna take a lotta love or we won't get too far, so if you look in my direction and we don't see eye to eye, my heart needs protection and so do I.

It's gonna take a lotta love to get us thru the night, it's gonna take a lotta love to make things work out right, so if you are out there waiting I hope you show up soon ‘cause my heart needs relating, not solitude. Gotta lotta love, gotta lotta love.

It's gonna take a lotta love to change the way things are, it's gonna take a lotta love or we won't get too far, it's gonna take a lotta love to change the way things are, it's gonna take a lotta love or we won't get too far.


5. Peace of mind.

You know it takes a long, long time, you know it takes a long, long time, you love her so and still you know that you will never want to let her go unless you leave her first, then you come out on top, but still there's just one thing you haven't got. Peace of mind like when you treated her kind, it's hard to face that open space.

You know it takes a long, long time, you know it takes a long, long time, when first you gave and shared your soul, showed her all those things that take their toll, she knows your weak spot but she still gets you hot, so you do it again, reveal what lies within. And go for peace of mind like when you treated her kind, it's hard to face that open space.

You're lookin' for peace of mind anywhere you can find, still searchin' for peace of mind. You know it takes a long, long time, you know it takes
a long, long time…


6. Human highway.

I come down from the misty mountain, I got lost on the human highway, take my head, refreshing fountain, take my eyes from what they've seen, take my head and change my mind, how could people get so unkind.

I come down from the crooked mansion, I went looking for the D.J.'s daughter, since that day I heard it mentioned that my name is on the line, now my name is on the line, how could people get so unkind.

Now, my name is on the line, how could people get so unkind. I come down from the misty mountain, I got lost on the human highway, take my head, refreshing fountain, take my eyes from what they've seen, take my head and change my mind, how could people get so unkind.


7. Already one.

What can I do, what can I say running down this suspicious highway, I can't forget how love let me down and when we meet it still gets in my way, but we're already one, already one, now only time can come between us, 'cause we're already one our little son won't let us forget.

Your laughing eyes, your crazy smile, every time I look in his face I can't believe how love lasts a while And looks like forever in the first place, but we're already one, already one, now only time can come between us, 'cause we're already one our little son won't let us forget.

In my new life I'm travelin' light, eyes wide open for the next move, I can't go wrong 'til I get right but I'm not falling back in the same groove, but we're already one, already one, now only time can come between us, 'cause we're already one our little son won't let us forget.


8. Field of opportunity.

I've been wrong before and I'll be there again, I don't have any answers my friend, just this pile of old questions my memory left me here, in the field of opportunity it's plowing time again.

I'm going' back to my house but I'm not going now, it's too early to be leaving here, somehow, let me bore you with this story, how my lover let me down, while I borrow seeds of sadness from the ground. In the field of opportunity it's plowing time again, there ain't no way of telling where these seeds will rise or when, I'll just wait around 'til springtime and then I'll find a friend, in the field of opportunity it's plowing time again.

When I'm all done cultivating I'll be rockin' on the porch, trying to picture you and where you are, and there'll be no hesitating when Cupid lights the torch, with those headlights coming down the hill between the stars. In the field of opportunity it's plowing time again, there ain't no way of telling where these seeds will rise or when, I'll just wait around 'til springtime and then I'll find a friend, in the field of opportunity it's plowing time again, in the field of opportunity it's plowing time again.


9. Motorcycle mama.

Motorcycle mama, won't you lay your big spike down, motorcycle mama, won't you lay your big spike down, I always get in trouble when you bring it round, motorcycle mama, won't you lay it down. I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' down the proud highway, yeah, I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' down the proud highway, and as long as I keep moving I won't need a place to stay.

Motorcycle mama, won't you lay your big spike down, motorcycle mama, won't you lay your big spike down, I always get in trouble when you bring that round, motorcycle mama, won't you lay it down. Well I'm here dirty lover, I hope you can read my mail, I just escaped last night from the memory county jail, I see your box is open and you flag is up, my message is ready if there's time enough.

Motorcycle mama, won't you lay your big spike down, motorcycle mama, won't you lay your big spike down, motorcycle mama, won't you lay it down.


10. Four strong winds.

Think I’ll go out to Alberta, weather’s good there in the fall, I got some friends that I could go working for, still I wish you’d change your mind if I asked you one more time but we’ve been through this a hundred times or more.

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, all those things that don’t change come what may, if the good times are all gone then I’m bound for moving on, I’ll look for you if I‘m ever back this way.

If I get there before the snow flies and if things are looking good, you could meet me if I send you down the fare, but by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do, and those winds sure can get cold way out there.

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, all those things that don’t change come what may, if the good times are all gone then I’m bound for moving on, I’ll look for you if I‘m ever back this way.

Still I wish you’d change your mind if I asked you one more time but we’ve been through that a hundred times or more. Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, all those things that don’t change come what may, if the good times are all gone then I’m bound for moving on, I’ll look for you if I‘m ever back this way, I’ll look for you if I‘m ever back this way.

Instrumental.


2. The loner.

He's a perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox. He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the ways he talks. He's the unforeseen danger, the keeper of the key to the locks. Know when you see him, nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.

If you see him in the subway he'll be down at the end of the car, watching you move until he knows, he knows who you are. When you get off at your station alone, he'll know that you are. Know when you see him, nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.

There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago. She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go. On the day that she left he died but it did not show. Know when you see him, nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.


3. If I could have her tonight.

All of a sudden she was on my mind, I wasn't ready for her kind and she was taking her time. What if she came to me, would she be kind? And if she stayed with me, do you think that she'd like to do anything, I would, or would she leave me?

Lately I've found myself losing my mind knowing how badly I need her, it's something hard to find. What if she came to me, would she be kind? And if she stayed with me, do you think that she'd like to do anything, I would, or would she leave me?

If I could have her tonight, does she want to go? Look at those eyes, does she want it? If I could have her tonight, if I could have her tonight, if I could have her tonight.


4. I've been waiting for you.

I've been looking for a woman to save my life, not to beg or to borrow. A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice, who knows how could it be tomorrow?

I've been waiting for you and you've been coming to me for such a long time now, such a long time now. I've been waiting for you and you've been coming to me for such a long time now, such a long time now.


5. The old laughing lady.

Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more. Don't leave no message 'round her back door. They say the old laughing lady been here before, she don't keep time, she don't count score.

You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall. You got to move, there's no time left to stall. They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call and when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all.

See the drunkard of the village falling on the street, can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet. He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet. But his laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep.

There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night. There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right. And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light, t here's the old laughing lady, everything is all right.


6. Here we are in the years.

Now that the holidays have come they can relax and watch the sun, rise above all of the beautiful things they've done. Go to the country take the dog, look at the sky without the smog, see the world laugh at the farmers feeding hogs, eat hot dogs. What a pity that the people from the city can't relate to the slower things that the country brings.

Time itself is bought and sold. The spreading fear of growing old contains a thousand foolish games that we play. While people planning trips to stars, allow another boulevard to claim a quiet country lane, it's insane.

So the subtle face is a loser this time around. Here we are in the years where the showman shifts the gears, lives become careers, children cry in fear, let us out of here.


7. What did you do to my life?

When we were living together I thought that I knew you would stay. Still when you left me I tried to pretend we could make it some way. I don't care if all of the mountains turn to dust in the air, what did you do to my life? It isn't fair that I should wake up at dawn and not find you there, what did you do to my life?

It's hard enough losing without the confusion of knowing I tried. But you've made your mind up that I'll be alone, now there's nothing to hide. I don't care if all of the mountains turn to dust in the air, what did you do to my life? It isn't fair that I should wake up at dawn and not find you there, what did you do to my life? I don't care if all of the mountains turn to dust in the air, what did you do to my life? It isn't fair that I should wake up at dawn and not find you there, what did you do to my life?


8. I've loved her so long.

She's a victim of her senses, do you know her? Can you see her in the distance as she tumbles by? Veteran of a race that should be over, can you hear her sigh? With wings to fly, she rolls along doing it wrong.

Oh, I've loved her so long, oh, I've loved her so long. There's a place that I know, we could go, get away for a while. I can bring her the peace that she needs, give her reason to smile. Oh, I've loved her so long, oh, I've loved her so long. Oh, I've loved her so long, oh, I've loved her so long. Oh, I've loved her so long, oh, I've loved her so long. Oh, I've loved her so long, oh, I've loved her so long.


9. The last trip to Tulsa.

Well, I used to drive a cab, you know I heard a siren scream, pulled over to the corner and I fell into a dream. There were two men eating pennies and three young girls who cried, the west coast is falling, I see rocks in the sky. The preacher took his bible and laid it on the stool. He said: with the congregation running, why should I play the fool?

Well, I used to be a woman, you know, I took you for a ride, I let you fly my airplane, it looked good for your pride. 'Cause you're the kind of man, you know, Who likes what he says. I wonder what's it's like to be so far over my head. Well, the lady made the wedding and she brought along the ring, she got down on her knees and said: let's get on with this thing.

Well, I used to be a folk singer keeping managers alive, when you saw me on a corner and told me I was jive. So I unlocked your mind, you know, to see what I could see, if you guarantee the postage, I'll mail you back the key. Well I woke up in the morning with an arrow through my nose, there was an Indian in the corner tryin' on my clothes.

Well, I used to be asleep, you know, with blankets on my bed, I stayed there for a while ‘til they discovered I was dead. The coroner was friendly and I liked him quite a lot, if I hadn't 've been a woman I guess I'd never have been caught. They gave me back my house and car and nothing more was said.

Well, I was driving down the freeway when my car ran out of gas. Pulled over to the station but I was afraid to ask. The servicemen were yellow and the gasoline was green, although I knew I couldn't I thought that I was gonna scream. That was on my last trip to Tulsa, just before the snow, if you ever need a ride there, be sure to let me know.

I was chopping down a palm tree when a friend dropped by to ask, if I would feel less lonely, if he helped me swing the axe. I said: no, it's not a case of being lonely we have here, I've been working on this palm tree for eighty seven years. I said: no, it's not a case of being lonely we have here, I've been working on this palm tree for eighty seven years.

He said: go get lost! And walked towards his Cadillac, I chopped down the palm tree and it landed on his back.
