Lyrics for Powderfinger by Neil Young:
| | | Artist: | Neil Young |
| | Album: | Live Rust | | Track: | Powderfinger | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 243 | | | | Lyrics: | Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river
With a big red beacon, and a flag, and
a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John, 'cause it don't
look like they're here
to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to
stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
and it's makin' big
waves.
Daddy's gone, my brother's out
hunting in the mountains
Big John's
been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou
Seems the Powers That Be left me here to do the
thinkin'
And I just turned twenty two
I was wonderin' what to do
And the closer they
got,
The more those feelin's grew.
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt
reassurin'
He told me, "Red means run, son,
and numbers add up to nothin'"
When the
first shot hit the docks I saw it comin'
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder
why.
Then I saw black, and my face splashed in the sky.
Shelter me from the powder
and the finger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Think of me as one you'd
never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my
love, I know I'll miss her | | | |
