Neil Young - Falling From Above Lyrics
Grandpa said to cousin JedSitting on the porch,"I won't retireBut I might retread."Seem like that guy singin' this songBeen doing it for a long timeIs there anything he knowsThat he ain't said?Sing a song for freedomSing a song for loveSing a song for depressed angelsFalling from above.Grandpa held the paperPretending he could seeBut he couldn't readWithout his glasses on"How can all those peopleAfford so many things?When I was young we woreWhat we had on."Mamma said, "A little love and affectionIn everything you doWill make the world a better placeWith or without you."A little love and affectionIn everything you doA better placeWith or without you."Slamming down some late night shotsThe artist and the hero compareThose envisions and afterthoughtsFor the twenty first century.But mostly came up with nothingSo the truth was never learnedAnd the human race justKept rollin' on.Rollin' through the fightingRollin' through the religious warsRollin' down the temple wallsAnd the churches' exposed sores.Rollin' through the fightingThrough religious warsMostly came up with nothing..."Grandpa, here's your glasses;You'll see much better now,"Said that young girlOf Edith and Earl's.But Grandpa just kept starin'He was lost in some distant thoughtThen he turned and he saidTo that young girl,"A little love and affectionIn everything you doWill make the world a better placeWith or without you."A little love and affectionIn everything you doA better placeWith or without you."Hear the rooster crowin'Down on the Double EIt's a new morningBreaking on the green.Bouncing off the Towers,The sun's heading for the streetThe business meetingWindow shades are drawn.Another morning editionIs headed for the porchBecause Grandma puts down the paperBefore Grandpa raises his fork.A little love and affectionIn every thing you doA better placeWith or without you.
