After the Gold Rush Songtext
von Neil Young & The Stray Gators

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin′ something about a queen
There were peasants singin' and drummers drummin′
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun
That was floating on the breeze

Look at mother nature on the run in the 1970s
Look at mother nature on the run in the 1970s


I was lyin' in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hopin′ for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playin′ in my head
And I felt like getting high

I was thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinkin′ about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children cryin′ and colors flyin'
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loadin′ had begun

Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home
