Lyrics for The Old Homestead by Neil Young:
| | | Artist: | Neil Young |
| | Album: | Hawks And Doves | | Track: | The Old Homestead | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 269 | | | | Lyrics: | Up and down the old homestead
The naked rider gallops through his head
And although the
moon isn't full
He still feels the pull
Out on the floor where the cowboys
dance
Approaching slowly at a glance
Here comes the shadow of his stance
The reins
are fallin' from his hands
Shadow É
"Why do you ride that crazy
horse?"
Inquires the shadow with little remorse
Just then a priest comes down the
stairs
With a sack of dreams and old nightmares
Rider É
"Who are you," the
rider says
"You dress in black but you talk like a Fed
You spout ideas from books that you
read
Don't you care about this guy's head?"
Just then the sound of hoofbeats was
heard
And the sky was darkened by a prehistoric bird
Who flew between the unfulfilled
moon
And the naked rider, to a telephone booth.
Bird 1 É
"We'll call the
moon and see what's up
I've got some change in this little tin cup
We'll say that the
shadow is growin' dim
And we need some light to get back to him
Just one call should do it
all
I'll carve this number on the wall
With my beak."
Birds 2 and 3
É
"Where have you been," they said to the first
"Get back to the clouds, we're dying
of thirst
There's not enough time to make that call
Let's ditch this rider, shadow and
all."
The sky was filled with the beautiful birds
Still on the ground some crying
was heard
With his dime in his hand and his hand on the dial
His cars were sweating as he
forced a smile
Hoofbeats beating across the range
He rode through the night with his
cup of change
Tired and beaten he fell into slumber
But up in the sky they still had his
number
Up and down the old homestead
The naked rider gallops through his
head
And although the moon isn't full
He still feels the pull
Still feels the pull | | | |
