Lyrics If I Don't Know - Neil Young, Promise Of The Real

If I Don't Know

If I don’t know what I’m doin'
And all my big ideas fail
Like build a dam against the water so the river dies
Veins, the Earth’s blood
And if I don’t know what I’m sayin'
And all the world’s dreams come true
Like finding oil and shooting poison in the ground
Veins, Earth’s blood
And if the melodies stay pretty
And the songs are not too long
I’ll try to find a way to get them back to you
Veins, the Earth’s blood
