Lyrics The Painter - Neil Young

The Painter

The painter stood
Before her work
She looked around every where
She saw the pictures and she painted them
She picked the colors 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
In the night
It s a long road
Behind me
It s a long road
Ahead
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might
Get
Lost.
She towed the line
She held her end up
She did the work of too many
But in the end
She fell down
Before she got up again
I keep 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 road behind me
And I miss you now
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might
Get
Lost.
