Lyrics Change of Heart - Neil Young, Promise Of The Real

Change of Heart

Talk to the people
They know the truth
Time don’t mean nothing
It’s the ways that you choose
To go on living inside your house
Or move a mountain, an elephant or a mouse
Instead of stayin and dying inside
Sometimes you move
Sometimes you ride away
Don’t tell no stories
Don’t tell no lies
Not even the ones you already tried
Not proud of lies
Nothing is saved
Just a road to nowhere, your name engraved
They pick up on you
As you pick up on them
Just cause they’re birds don’t mean you can’t fly
So don’t be sorry
The pastor touched my hand
Here on the church steps
I was 9 or 10
I had a change of heart
Was a change of heart
A change of heart
Life is confusing
Love is time bent
Hate is not worth using
Even as cement
To build your walls
That you hide behind
And not see over and it blows your mind
There’s hate there now
That never was
Love is waiting just because of you cuz
There’s nothing sacred
A blind man said
I see your feelings inside my head
I can’t predict it, what happens next
I love a future I don’t expect
You fortune tellers
You take my hand
See what’s there
It’s sifting sands
I had a change of heart
It was a change of heart
Just a change of heart
I was the ocean
Washed up here
I’m your emotions
I’m your fresh beard
So drink me up and laugh away
And let’s all continue on another day
Maybe tomorrow our ship will come in
And we’ll set the sails for oblivion
Not so fast
Let’s not give up
Let’s don’t be angry
And spill the cup
Well we’re still drinking
And I’m feeling so high
My eyes are waterlogged, let’s give it a try
Come on baby, I’m ready to rock
Give me all you’ve got
And then let’s talk
It’s a change of heart
I had a change of heart
Just a change of heart
