Picking colours from the air (song of Neil Young)

Picking colours from the air (song of Neil Young)


The painter stood
Before her work
She looked around everywhere
She saw the pictures
and she painted them
Picking colours 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
Through the night
It’s a long raod
Behind me
It’s a long raod
Ahead
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
She toed the line
She held her end up
She did the work of two men
But in the end
She fell down
Before she got up again
I have 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 raod
Behind me
And i miss you now
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
Green to green
Red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black
When the evening comes
Blue to blue
Through the night
