Neil Young - Long May You Run Album Lyrics

We've been through
some things together
With trunks of memories
still to come
We found things to do
in stormy weather
Long may you run.

Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes
have come
With your chrome heart shining
in the sun
Long may you run.

Well, it was
back in Blind River in 1962
When I last saw you alive
But we missed that shift
on the long decline
Long may you run.

Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes
have come
With your chrome heart shining
in the sun
Long may you run.

Maybe The Beach Boys
have got you now
With those waves
singing "Caroline No"
Rollin' down
that empty ocean road
Gettin' to the surf on time.

Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes
have come
With your chrome heart shining
in the sun
Long may you run.

I was lonesome as I could be in a bad kind of time
'Til I saw you look at me, where there's smoke, there's fire
All of my troubles disappear when I watch you move
Girl, your body said everything and I know you knew

I want to make love to you, yeah (love you, love you)
Make you feel alright (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, oh, yes I do (love you, love you)
Yes, it'll take all night (love you, love you)

In a smoke filled bar
In a southern town, I met somebody special
I wish I could stick around
But I don't mind so much
Do you, baby?
'Cause the time we had was such a rush
And you're such a lady

I want to make love to you, oh, yes, I do (love you, love you)
Make you feel all right (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, oh yeah (love you, love you)
Yes, it'll take all night (love you, love you)

Girl, when you looked my way
I knew this night was ours
It doesn't matter, I'll be gone with the dawn
So will you
We choose, who we choose, when we choose

Nobody can take away the time we had
Each moment extra long, it's quite a memory to have
Don't you forget with the dawn, I'll be gone
And how we got together, anyway, well, that's another song

I want to make love to you, oh, yes, I do (love you, love you)
Make you feel all right (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, oh yeah (love you, love you)
It'll last all night (love you, love you)

I want to make love to you (love you, love you)
Yes, make you feel alright (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, yeah (love you, love you)
Girl, it'll last all night (love you, love you)

Love you, love you, love you, love to you
Love you, love you

It's midnight on the bay
And lights are shinin'
And the sailboats sway
And that cool ocean breeze.
Blowin' down through the keys
I think I'll call it a day
Oh, midnight on the bay.
Sure feels good to me.

What's this I see
There's someone comin'
Walkin' right up to me
She tells me I know your name
And if it's all the same
I'd like to spend some time.
And midnight on the bay
Sure feels good to me.

And now it's midnight on the bay
Lights are shinin'
On the sailboats that sway
In the cool ocean breeze
Blowin' down through the keys
I think I'll call it a day
Oh, midnight on the bay.
Sure feels good to me.

Have you ever been down deep?
I mean way down under the ocean
Just inside Odin's reach
Better beware of this potion

And remember you don't belong
It always seemed so unfair
The fishes around will always remind you
Got to go slow, take it easy down there
You've only so much air

When you get a little deeper
If you slow down you might keep her
The sea, unforgiving and she's hard
But she'll make love to you
Show you glimpses of the stars

At about two hundred feet
You realize the peril
But seductive is the deep
That shark over there holds no terror

For a while you really belong
The ocean will always share
You become one like friends and lovers
But remember, take care
She'll try to keep you there

The deeper you go
'Cause of the pressure of the air
The nitrogen comes and goes, gets you high
It's an alien atmosphere

They call it rapture of the deep, be you not afraid
You're too far down by now to be scared
Two hundred eighty-seven feet
I saw Jesus and it made sense that He was there

So belong but don't be long
There's plenty of ocean to share
Please take heed, there's mouths to feed
The ocean, she'll provide
Don't take more than you need
'Cause heaven just might be the sea

In the jungle land
With the sea and the sand
Can I meet you there?

We'll be drinkin' bananas
From long tall glasses
In the open air.

Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores.

There'll be music playin'
What no words could say
When you first get there.

We'll be lost in a corner
That we find in each other
There' so much to share.

Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores.

There's a light on
over my head, my Lord
There's a light on
over my head, my Lord
Let it shine, let it shine
Although it may not be
the only one
Let it shine, shine, shine
Although it may not be
the only one.

There's a moon roof
over my head, my Lord
And my Lincoln is still
the best thing built by Ford
Let it roll, let it roll
Although it may not be
the only one
Let me ride, ride, ride, ride,
Although I may not be
the only one.

I got religion
in the airport, my Lord
They caught me waiting on
my baggage when I was bored
Let them chant, let them chant
Although they may not be
the only one
Let them dance, dance, dance
Although they may not be
the only one.

There's a light on
over my head, my Lord
There's a light on
over my head, let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Although it may not be
the only one
Let me shine, shine, shine, shine
Although I may not be
the only one.

Can you see me cryin'?
Can you hear me dyin'?
I wanna talk to you, listen too
Do you know me like I know you?
Do you love me like I love you?
Is it all the same? Yeah

We'll be old friends, tryin'
Til' the road ends, we'll be flyin'
Listen to me, sing to you
I got the music, I need the space
I'd like to use it to get out of this place
'Cause it's all the same, yeah

I got the miserables, help me
Don't seem sensible, tell me
I wanna talk to you, listen too
Too many times I've swallowed my words
Is it a crime to want to be heard?
Or is is it all the same? Yeah

Who put the palm
over my blonde?
Who put all the tar
on the morning sand?
Who took everything
from where it once was
And put it where
it was last seen?

Fontainebleau,
they painted it green
Fontainebleau,
for the well-to-do
At the Fontainebleau.

There's a palace in the gravy
That's holding on and on and on
Even after
all the blue-haired ladies
And the wheelchairs are gone.

I guess the reason
I'm so scared of it
Is I stayed there once
and I almost fit
I left before I got out of it
People were drownin'
in their own...

Fontainebleau
Fontainebleau,
was that me?
Fontainebleau,
well I guess I'll see
Fontainebleau.

Fontainebleau,
where the surfer works
Fontainebleau,
'til the break of day
Fontainebleau,
'cause it takes a shark
Fontainebleau,
to catch a wave at the
Fontainebleau.

There's a guardian angel
Watching over you, yes
Better mind your ways
Just might leave on you

In the darkness
Who else is really with you?
Only you alone
Got to live with you all the time
When there's no more time
And nothing left to do

Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
Your guardian angel

Who are these kindred spirits?
Would you know them
If they stood in front of you?

They come below
The longing beseech at you
Trying to telephone
Someone might listen for a while
When there's no more time
And nothing left to do

Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
Your guardian angel

When a passing stranger
Looks away from you
An uneasy feeling
Starts coming over you

Somebody watching somewhere
Maybe today it's you
Comes a desperate urge to run
Guardian angel, where are you?

When there's no more time
And nothing left to do
Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
Your guardian angel, yeah
