After the Gold Rush lyrics

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,
When you're 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

So your girlfriend slammed the door shut
In your face tonight, but that's all right
Then she took off to the opera
With some highbrow from the city lights
Well, you grew up on a corner
You never missed a moonlit night.

Some things never change, they stay the way they are.
You were born to rock, you'll never be an opera star
Some things never change, they stay the way they are.

There's a world you're living in
No one else has your part
All God's children in the wind
Take it in and blow hard.

Look around it, have you found it
Walking down the avenue?
See what it brings,
could be good things
In the air for you.

We are leaving. We are gone.
Come with us to all alone.
Never worry. Never moan.
We will leave you all alone.

Slipping and sliding
and playing domino
Lefting and then Righting,
it's not a crime you know.
You gotta tell your story boy,
before it's time to go.

Are you ready for the country
because it's time to go?
Are you ready for the country
because it's time to go?

I was talkin' to the preacher,
said God was on my side
Then I ran into the hangman,

Once I thought I saw youIn a crowded hazy bar
dancing through the lights from star to star
Far across the moonbeamsi knew that´s you who are
dancing through the lights from star to star

Refrain:
You are like a hurricane
there´s calm in your eyes
and I´m getting blown away
There´s somwhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love and just get blown away

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 nineteen seventies.

Look at Mother Nature on the run

In the nineteen seventies.

Southern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man

I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall white mansions and little shacks.
Southern man when will you pay them back?
I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Southern man better keep your head

On the lake, the deep forbidden lake,
The old boats go gliding by,
And the leaves are falling from the trees
And landing on the logs and I
See the turtles heading for the bog
And falling off the log.
They make the water splash,
And feeling no backlash,
They climb the happy banks.

When we were living togetherI thought that I knew you would stay.Still when you left meI tried to pretend we could make it some way.I don't care if all of the mountainsTurn to dust in the air.(What did you do to my life?)It isn't fair that I shouldWake up at dawnAnd not find you there(What did you do to my life?)It's hard enough losingWithout the confusion of knowing I tried.But you've made your m

Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place
at your command
Can I stay here
for a while
Can I see your
sweet sweet smile
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same?
It's the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.

Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band
begun to rust
After all
the sin we've had
