Neil Young - Will to Love lyrics

La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la

It has often been my dream
To live with one who wasn't there
Like an ocean fish who swam upstream
Through nets, by hooks, and hungry bears
When the water grew less deep
My fins were aching from the strain
I'm swimmin' in my sleep
I know I can't go back again can't go back

I'll never lose it (Got the will to love)
Never lose the will to love
(Got the will to love)
Never lose the will (Got the will to love)
It's something from up above
(Got the will to love)
Never lose the will to love
La la la la, la la la la

I can be like a fire in the night
Always warm and givin' off light
But there comes a time when
I shine too bright
Oh, I'm just a fire in the night
And now my fins are in the air
And my belly's scrapin' on the rocks
I still think someone really cares
And I'll keep swimming 'til I stop

No, no I'll never lose the will to love
(Got the will to love)
I got the will to love (Got the will to love)
Got the will to love (Got the will to love)
It's like something from up above
(Got the will to love)
I never lose the will to love
(Got the will to love) no, no
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la

I'm like a singer on the stage
With the golden lights and liquid rage
Down from the mountains to the sea
Cool running love keeps cleansing me
It keeps my gills from getting dry
But it distorts things in my eyes
Sometimes I see what really isn't there
Like my true lover and I care

But I'll never lose (Got the will to love)
I got the will to love
I never lose the will to love
(Got the will to love)
It's like something from up above
I got the will to love (Got the will to love)
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la

Sometimes I ramble on and on
And I repeat myself 'til all
My friends are gone
Get lost in snow and drown in rain
And never feel the same again
I remember the ocean from where I came
Just one of millions all the same
But somewhere, someone calls my name
I'm a harpoon dodger and I can't
Won't be tamed

I'll never lose the will to love
(Got the will to love)
Never lose the will to love
(Got the will to love)
Never lose it (Got the will to love)
It's like something from up above
I'm not gonna lose the will to love
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la

Baby, if I see boredom in your eyes
I'll know my river has run dry
But I won't turn back with that lonely tide
I bought that ticket and I'll take that ride
If we meet along the way
Please sway beside me
Let us sway together, our tails together
And our fins and mind will leave this water
And let our scales shine
In the sun above and the sky below
So all the water and earth will know

It has often been my dream
La la la la, la la la la
To live with one who wasn't there
