Neil Young Prairie Wind Lyrics

Prairie Wind Lyrics

In the morning when I wake up and listen to the sound

Of the birds outside
on the roof

I try to ignore what the paper says

And I try not to
read all the news

And I'll hold you if you had a bad dream

And I
hope it never comes true

'Cause you and I been through so many things
together

And the sun starts climbing the roof



It's a
dream

Only a dream

And it's fading now

Fading away

It's
only a dream

Just a memory without anywhere to stay



The Red
River stills flows through my home town

Rollin' and tumblin' on its
way

Swirling around the old bridge pylons

Where a boy fishes the
morning away

His bicycle leans on an oak tree

While the cars rumble
over his head

An aeroplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky

And
the young birds call out to be fed



It's a dream

Only a
dream

And it's fading now

Fading away

It's only a dream

Just a memory without anywhere to stay



An old man walks along on
the sidewalk

Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat

The four winds blow
the back of his overcoat away

As he stops with the policeman to chat

And a train rolls out of the station

That was really somethin' in its
day

Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails

As it carries
the passengers away



It's gone

Only a dream

And it's
fading now

Fading away

Only a dream

Just a memory without
anywhere to stay



It's a dream

Only a dream

And it's
fading now

Fading away

It's only a dream

Just a memory
without anywhere to stay



It's a dream

Only a dream

And
it's fading now

Fading away
