Neil Young — The Painter

[Verse 1] The painter stood Before her work She looked around everywhere She saw the pictures And she painted them She picked the colors from the air [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] She towed 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 5] 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
