helpless
Funny how music always comes to the rescue, and amazing how sometimes the feelings are simple and other times they are complex. There is an online argument about Neil Young. I made a comment or two, and ended up for whatever reason posting the lyrics to "Helpless." This is one of my ex's favorite songs, but I came to know it long before I knew her, seeing Young play it along with the Band in the movie The Last Waltz. But today of all days it seems even more appropriate...
There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
