Neil Young - Will To Love Lyrics
It has often been my dreamTo live with one who wasnt thereLike an ocean fish who swam upstreamThrough nets, by hooks, and hungry bears.When the water grew less deepMy fins were aching from the strainIm swimming in my sleepI know I cant go back again.Got the will to love, the will to love.Ill never lose it, never lose the will to love,Never lose the will.Its like something from up above.I can be like a fire in the nightAlways warm and giving off lightBut there comes a time when I shine too brightOh, Im just a fire in the night.And now my fins are in the airAnd my bellys scraping on the rocksI still think someone really caresAnd Ill keep swimming till I stop.Got the will to love, the will to love.Ill never lose it, never lose the will to love,Never lose the will.Its like something from up above.Im like a singer on the stageWith the golden lights and liquid rageDown from the mountains to the seaCool running love keeps cleansing me.It keeps my gills from getting dryBut it distorts things in my eyesSometimes I see what really isnt thereLike my true lover, and I care.Got the will to love, the will to love.Ill never lose it, never lose the will to love,Never lose the will.Its like something from up above.Sometimes I ramble on and onAnd I repeat myself till all my friends are goneAnd get lost in snow and drown in rainAnd never feel the same again.I remember the ocean from where I cameJust one of millions all the sameBut somewhere someone calls my nameIm a harpoon dodger, and I cant, wont be tamed.Got the will to love, the will to love.Ill never lose it, never lose the will to love,Never lose the will.Its like something from up above.Baby, if I see boredom in your eyesIll know my river has run dryBut I wont turn back with that lonely tideI bought that ticket and Ill take that ride.If we meet along the wayPlease sway beside me, let us sway togetherOur tails together and our fins and mindWell leave this water and let our scales shineIn the sun above and the sky belowSo all the water and earth will knowIt has often been my dreamTo live with one who wasnt there.
