Neil Young : Sleeps with Angels

Lyrics

1. MY HEART

Down in the valley the shepherd sees
His flock is close at hand
And in the night sky a star is falling down
From someone's hand

Somewhere, somewhere,
I gotta get somewhere
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to get somewhere

This time I will take the lead somehow
This time you won't have to show me how

When dreams come crashing down like trees
I don't know what love can do
When life is hanging in the breeze
I don't know what love can do

My heart, my heart
I've got to keep my heart
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to keep my heart

My love, I will give to you, it's true
Although I'm not sure what love can do

Somewhere, somewhere
I've got to get somewhere
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to get somewhere

Somewhere someone has a dream come true
Somehow someone has a dream come true


2. PRIME OF LIFE

Shadows climb up the garden wall
Upon the green the first leaf falls
It's the prime of life and the king and queen
Step out into the sun

Are you feeling all right
Not feeling too bad myself
Are you feeling all right, my friend?

Footsteps run down the castle hall
To the rooms of the paper doll

It's the prime of life, where the spirit grows
And the mirror shows both ways

Are you feeling all right
Not feeling too bad myself
Are you feeling all right, my friend?

When I first saw your face
It took my breath away
When I first saw your face
It took my breath away

Shadows fly up the garden wall
Upon the green the first leaf falls
It's the prime of life and the king and queen
Step out into the sun

Are you feeling all right
Not feeling too bad myself
Are you feeling all right, my friend?


3. DRIVE BY

It's a random kind of thing
Came upon a delicate flower
I can't believe a machine gun sings
Driveby, driveby, driveby, driveby

Well he borrowed his girlfiend's car
Went out riding with the boys
Now she's gone like a shooting star
Driveby, driveby, driveby, driveby

Now she's gone like a shooting star
Trail of dreams tragic trail of fire
Now she's gone like a shooting star
Driveby, driveby, driveby, driveby

Well you feel invincible
It's just a part of life
There's a feud going on and you don't know
Driveby, driveby, driveby, driveby


4. SLEEPS WITH ANGELS

She wasn't perfect
She had some trips of her own
He wasn't worried
At least he wasn't alone
Too late
He sleeps with angels
Too soon
He's always on someone's mind
He sleeps with angels
Too late
He sleeps with angels
Too soon

She was a teen queen
She saw the dark side of life
She made things happen
But when he did it that night
She ran up phone bills
She moved around from town to town
Too late
He sleeps with angels
Too soon
He's always on someone's mind
He sleeps with angels
He sleeps with angels


5. WESTERN HERO

Frontier town, home of the western hero
Frontier justice, dealt with the iron hand

He wore a long coat to the ground
He wore big boots that made a sound
He wore a six gun on his hip
But now he doesn't carry it

Sure enough, he was a western hero
On the deck, sighting an old Jap zero

And on the shores at Normandy
He fought for you, he fought for me
Across the land and on the sea
But now he's just a memory

And in the distance, the rocket's red glare
The bombs burst in the air
This time we're never going back

Through the years he changed somehow
He's different now
He's different now

Open fire, here comes the western hero
Standing there, big money in his hand
Sure enough, he was a western hero,
Sure enough


6. CHANGE YOUR MIND

When you get weak, and you need to test your will
When life's complete, but there's something
Missing still
Distracting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Don't let another day go by without the magic touch

Distracting you, change your mind
Supporting you, change your mind
Embracing you, change your mind
Convincing you, change your mind

When you're confused and the world has got you down
When you feel used and you just can't play the clown
Protecting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Don't let another day go by without the magic touch

Protecting you, change your mind
Restoring you, change your mind
Revealing you, change your mind
Soothing you, change your mind

You hear the sound, you wait around and get the word
You see the picture changing everything you've heard
Destroying you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Don't let another day go by without the magic touch

Destroying you, change your mind
Embracing you, change your mind
Protecting you, change your mind
Confining you, change your mind
Distracting you, change your mind
Supporting you, change your mind
Distorting you, change your mind
Controlling you, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind

The morning comes and there's an odor in the room
The scent of love, more than a million roses bloom
Embracing you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Don't let another day go by without the magic touch

Embracing you, change your mind
Concealing you, change your mind
Protecting you , change your mind
Revealing you, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind


7. BLUE EDEN

Embracing, distorting, supporting, comforting
Convincing you, consoling you
Controlling you, destroying you
All over you

I know someday we'll meet again
We come and go that way my friend
It's part of me, it's part of you

You feel invincible, it's just a part of life

You feel invincible, it's just a part of life


8. SAFEWAY CART

Like a Safeway cart rolling down the street
Like a sandal mark on the Savior's feet
Just keep rolling on it's a ghetto dawn

Baby looks so bad with her TV eyes
Going, going, gone and the picture cries
It's a ghetto dawn

Baby looks so bad with her TV eyes
Going, going, gone and the picture cries
Baby looks so bad with her TV eyes

Like a Safeway cart rolling down the street
Past the Handy mart to the Savior's feet
Going, going, gone and the picture cries

Baby looks so sad
Baby looks so bad
It's a ghetto dawn

Like a Safeway cart rolling down the street
Like a sandal mark on the Savior's feet
Just keep rolling on to a ghetto dawn


9. TRAIN OF LOVE

Train of love
Racing from heart to heart
Running late
Still in the lonely part
This train will never run me down
But only take me where I'm bound
It's part of me and part of you
I'll always be a part of you

Sail along, sail along silver moon
Don't be blue
Throw shadows in my room
I know in time we'll meet again
We come and go that way, my friend
It's part of me and part of you
I'll always be a part of you

"To love and honor 'til death do us part"
Repeat after me
This train is never going back
When the lonesome whistle blows
No one knows, no one knows

Train of love, Train of love
Train of love, Train of love
It's part of me, it's part of you
Train of love


10. TRANS AM

Trans Am

The wagons in the valley had pulled up for the night
Seth said:"go get the plow out Merle, this place looks just right"
By then they were surrounded, by dawn they all were dead
I heard this from the old Trans Am, up the road ahead
That cowboy just kept talking,
I thought I heard him say
He used to ride the Santa Fe before the tracks were laid

Trans Am

A nasty wind was blowing through the gates of Eden Park
One was swinging and one was hanging, and the street lights all were dark
It crawled along the boulevard with two wheels on the grass
That old Trans Am was dying hard, but still had lots of gas
The golden gate was open wide, the sun came shining through
Where once the angels stood and cried everything was new

Trans Am

Global manufacturing, hands across the sea
The hotel filled with dealers, everything was free
Before the competition, ahead of all the rest
The product was presented, it clearly was the best
The power link was ruptured, the hotel shook and rolled
The old Trans Am just bounced around and took another road

Trans Am

An old friend showed up at the door
The mile posts flying by
He said come on, I said what for
He said I'll show you why
I got a call from north of here
They said some girl's broke down
There's good money in it for you and me
If we can get her back to town
She's somewhere north of Barstow
Lost on 66
An old Trans Am by the side of the road
That needs a headlight fixed

Trans Am


11. PIECE OF CRAP

Tried to save the trees
Bought a platsic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap

Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
It's a piece of crap

I tried to plug in it
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap

Got it from a friend
On him you can depend
I found out in the end
It was a piece of crap

I'm trying to save the trees
I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down
To build a piece of crap

I went back to the store
They gave me four more
The guy told me at the door
It's a piece of crap


12. A DREAM THAT CAN LAST

I feel like I died and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare but the streets are paved with gold

I saw a young girl who didn't die
I saw a glimmer from in her eye
I saw the distance, I saw the past
And I know I won't awaken, it's a dream that can last

I feel like I died and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare but the streets are paved with gold

And all the lights were turned down low
And no one wondered or had to go
Out on the corner the angels say
There is a better life for me someday

I feel like I died and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare but the streets are paved with gold
