milky way

Neil Young

She was lookin' like a friend of mine
The first time I saw her face
I was approaching at the end of the line
The first time I ever saw her smile at me that way

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories that weren't that day

Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
But somehow I survived
And became free

She was walking like she knew
Where she was going
Walking like she knew
She was walking right up to me

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories that weren't that day

Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
But somehow I survived
And became free

The starry night with no moonshine
The day without a cloud
A long ladder but no one climbing
A stranger in the crowd

There's a mermaid in the Milky Way
With an [ocean liner?]
There's no moon tonight so you might see her
And her [ocean liner?]
Up in the stars

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories that weren't that day

Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
But somehow I survived
And became free
