Neil Young, Promise of the Real - Almost Always lyrics

Lately I been thinking 'bout
The changing world
Trying to fit in pieces of dreams
Just trying to add it up
Figure out what it means
When a lost planet comes tumbling home

Does it have to have a beard to
Break free from what is here
And continue to pick up
Those pieces of dreams?
And I'm living with a gameshow host who
Has to brag and has to boast
About tearing down the things
That I hold dear

While the day is with us
And the birds are near
Singing in the sun, basking in it's light
As it's just risen through the fogs of fear
Can I take a minute to do what's right?

Before that starts me thinking
Distracting me again
Do I have something to say?
Maybe just a feeling that things
Are bound to change
Or just that crazy searchlight
Lighting someone's way

I'm not gonna work it out
Right here and right now
I got some things to do
Got some calls to make
Hear that crazy little bird
Calling out it's song
Standing out on a limb almost too long

Staying out 'til it's May
She answers every time
She answers every time, every time
Almost always
