Neil Young - No Wonder lyrics

See the bluebird fly easy as a dream
Dipping and bobbing in the sun
Could she be the one i saw so long ago
Could she be the one to take me home
This pasture is green
I'm walking in the sun it's turning brown
I'm standing in the rain
My overcoat is worn the pockets are all torn
I'm moving away from the pain

Tick-tock the clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time ring, ring
The old church bell the bride and her love
Seeking guidance from above

Amber waves of grain bow in the prairie wind
I'm hearing willie singing on
The radio again that song from 9
11 keeps ringing in my head
I'll always remember something
Chris Rock said don't send no more candles
No matter what you do
Then willie stopped singing
And the prairie wind blew
The green kept rolling on
For miles and miles
Fields of fuel rolling on for miles

Tick-tock the clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time toll, toll
The fallen soldier bell
The old church on the hill
Still standing when so many fell

Back when i was young
The birds blocked out the sun
Before the great migration south
We only shot a few
They last the winter through
Mother cooked them good and served them up
Somewhere a senator sit's in a leather chair
Behind a big wooden desk
The caribou we killed mean nothing to him
He took his money just like all the rest

Tick-tock the clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time ring, ring
Ring the wedding bells
The bride takes the ring
And the happy people sing
