Neil Young - Borrowed Tune lyrics

I'm climbin' this ladder,

My head in the clouds

I hope that it matters,

I'm havin' my doubts.

I'm watchin' the skaters

Fly by on the lake.

Ice frozen six feet deep,

How long does it take?

I look out on peaceful lands

With no war nearby,

An ocean of shakin' hands

That grab at the sky.

I'm singin' this borrowed tune

I took from the Rolling Stones,

Alone in this empty room

Too wasted to write my own.

I'm climbin' this ladder,

My heads in the clouds

I hope that it matters.
