Neil Young - After The Gold Rush lyrics

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming

Saying' something about a queen

There were peasants singing' and drummers drumming'

And the archer split the tree

There's a fanfare blowing' to the sun

That was floating on the breeze.

Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies (2x).

I was lying' in a burned out basement

With the full moon in my eyes

I was hoping' for replacement

When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playing' in my head

And 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.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying'

In the yellow haze of the sun

There were children crying' and colors flying'

All around the chosen ones

All in a dream, all in a dream the loading had begun

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home.
