The Painter - Neil Young

The painter stood

Before her work

She looked around every where

She saw the pictures and she painted them

She picked the colors from the air

Green to green

Red to red

Yellow to yellow

In the light

Black to black

When the evening comes

Blue to blue

In the night

It s a long road

Behind me

It s a long road

Ahead

If you follow every dream

You might get lost

If you follow every dream

You might

Get

Lost.

She towed the line

She held her end up

She did the work of too many

But in the end

She fell down

Before she got up again

I keep my friends eternally

We leave our tracks in the sound

Some of them are with me now

Some of them can t be found

It s a long road behind me

And I miss you now

If you follow every dream

You might get lost

If you follow every dream

You might

Get

Lost.
