After The Gold Rush Lyrics

After The Gold Rush lyrics

(Neil Young)

 

 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 was a fanfare blowing to the sun 

 That was floating on the breeze 

 Look at Mother Nature on the run 

 In the Twentieth Century 

 Look at Mother Nature on the run 

 In the Twentieth Century 

 

 I was lying in a burned out basement 

 With the full moon in my eye 

 I was hoping for replacement 

 When the sun burst through the sky 

 

 There was a band playing in my head 

 And I felt like I could cry 

 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 

 

 I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying 

 In the yellow haze of the sun 

 There was cihldren 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
