Tell Me Why

Sailing heart-ships thru broken harbors

Out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher must ride the dark horse
Racing alone in his fright.
Tell me why, tell me why
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself,
hen your old enough to repay but young enough to sell!
Tell me lies later, come and see me
I"ll be around for a while.
I am lonely but you can free me
#ll in the way that you smile
Tell me why, tell me why
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself,
hen your old enough to repay but young enough to sell!
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
After The Gold Rush
$eil %oung - #fter The &oldrush
ell, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming,
Saying something about a 'ueen.
There were peasants singing, and drummers drumming,
#nd the archers split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun,
There was floating on the bree(e.
)ook at *other $ature on the run,
In the $ineteen-Seventies.
)ook at *other $ature on the run,
In the $ineteen-Seventies.
I was lying in the burned-out basement,
ith the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement,
hen the sun burst through the sky.
There was a band playing in my head,
#nd I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a friend had said,
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a friend had said,
I was hoping it was a lie.
ell, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow ha(e of the sun.
There was children crying and colors flying,
#ll around the +hosen Ones.
#ll in a dream, all in a dream,
The loading had begun.
,lying *other $ature"s silver seed
To a new home in the sun.
,lying *other $ature"s silver seed
To a new home.
Only Love Can Break Your Heart

-ow did it feel to be alone!
I was always thinking of games that I was playing.
Trying to make the best of my time.

Someone should call him and see if he can come out.
Try to lose the down that he"s found.
