From Marilyn to Madonna I always loved your smile Now we're headed for the big divorce California-style I found myself singin' Like a long-lost friend The same thing that makes you live Can kill you in the end Can we get it together Can we still stand side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride? Sometimes it's distorted Not clear to you Sometimes the beauty of love Just comes ringin' through New glass on the window New leaf on the tree New distance between us You and me Can we get it together Can we still stand side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride? (Silver Fiddle Music, 1992) Neil Young, Kenny Buttrey, Tim Drummond, Ben Keith, Spooner Oldham, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor @SONG: You and Me Open up your eyes See how life time flies Open up and let the light back in Open up your heart Let the lovin' start Open up and let the light back in I was thinking of you and me Makin' love beneath the tree And now I wonder could it be Thinkin' 'bout the times we had Some were good and some were bad Guitar fightin' the TV I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' of you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me Lookin' at you just the other night Dancin' in the evening light True love conquers all Old man sittin' there Touch of grey, but he don't care When he hears his children call I was thinkin' of you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me Open up your eyes See how life time flies Open up and let the light back in (Silver Fiddle Music, 1992) Neil Young, Nicolette Larson @SONG: Harvest Moon Come a little bit closer Hear what I have to say Just like children sleepin' We could dream this night away But there's a full moon risin' Let's go dancing in the light We know where the music's playin' Let's go out and feel the night Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart But now it's gettin' late And the moon is climbin' high I want to celebrate See it shinin' in your eye Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon (Silver Fiddle Music, 1992) Neil Young, Kenny Buttrey, Tim Drummond, Ben Keith, Spooner Oldham, Linda Ronstadt @SONG: War of Man The little creatures run in from the cold Back to the nest just like the days of old There in the safety of a mother's arms The warmth of ages, far away from harm again Ears ringin' from the battle fire The tired warrior aims a little higher The black falcon or the little sparrow The heating light of the flash of the barrel No one wins It's a war of man No one wins It's a war of man Silver man flyin' in the wind Down through the planets on the run again No one knows where they're runnin' to But every kind is comin' two by two Out on the delta where the hoofbeats pound The daddy's runnin' on the frozen ground Can't smell the poison as it follows him Can't see the gas and machines, it's a war of man No one wins It's a war of man No one wins It's a war of man The windows open and the little girl dreams The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed Across the heavens to the other side On wings of magic does the little girl ride The baby creatures run in from the cold Back to the nest just like the days of old There in the safety of a mother's arms The warmth of ages, far away from harm again No one wins It's a war of man No one wins It's a war of man No one wins (Silver Fiddle Music, 1992) Neil Young, Kenny Buttrey, Tim Drummond, Spooner Oldham, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Nicolette Larson, Astrid Young, Ben Keith, Larry Cragg @SONG: One of These Days One of these days I'm going to sit down and write a long letter To all the good friends I've known And I'm going to try To thank them all for the good times together Though so apart We've grown One of these days I'm going to sit down and write a long letter To all the good friend I've known One of these days One of these days One of these days And it won't be long It won't be long And I'm gonna thank That old country fiddler And all those ruff boys Who play that rock and roll I never tried To burn any bridges Though I know I let some Good things go One of these days I'm going to sit down and write a long letter To all the good friends I've known One of these days One of these days One of these days And it won't be long It won't be long From down in L.A.

What a lucky man To see the earth before it touched his hand What an angry fool To condemn One more night to go One more sleep upon your burning banks A greedy man never knows What he's done A natural beauty should be Preserved like a monument to nature Don't sell yourself too short my love Or someday you might find your soul endangered A natural beauty should be Preserved like a monument to nature Went to the rodeo today I saw the cowgirls lined up on the fence A brand new Chevrolet A brand new pair of seamless pants We watched the moment of defeat Played back over the video screen Somewhere deep inside Of my soul A natural beauty should be Preserved like a monument (Silver Fiddle Music, 1989) Neil Young, Kenny Buttrey, Spooner Oldham, Nicolette Larson Live performance recorded at Civic Auditorium, Portland, Oregon˙ |
