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 a full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for a replacement
When the sun burst through the skies.

There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
Thinking about what a friend had saidEmmylou Harris - After The Gold Rush - http://motolyrics.com/emmylou-harris/after-the-gold-rush-lyrics.html
I was hoping it was a lie.

Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships
Flying in the yellow half of the sun
There were children 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...
