Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Falling From Above Lyrics
Artist: Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Song: Falling From Above
Grandpa said to cousin Jed, sittin’ on the porch
“I won’t retire but I might retread
Seems like that guy singin’ this song been doin’ it for a long time
Is there anything he knows that he ain’t said?”
“Sing the song for freedom, sing a song for love
Sing a song for depressed angels falling from above”
Grandpa held the paper pretendin’ he could see
But he couldn’t read without his glasses on
“How can all these people afford so many things?
When I was young people wore what they had on”
And mama said
“A little love and affection in everything you do
Will make the world a better place with or without you”
A little love and affection in everything you do
Slammin’ down a late night shot, the hero and the artist compared
Goals and visions and afterthoughts for the 21st century
But mostly came up with nothin’ so the truth was never learned
And the human race just kept rollin’ on
Rollin’ through the fighting, rolling through the religious wars
Rollin’ down the temple walls and the church’s exposed sores
Rollin’ through the fighting, the religious wars
Mostly came up with nothin’
“Grandpa here’s your glasses, you’ll see much better now,”
Said that young girl of Edith and Earl’s
But Grandpa just kept starin’, he was lost in some distant thought
Then he turned and said to that young girl
“A little love and affection in everything you do
Will make the world a better place with or without you”
With or without you, a better place
With or without you, with or without you
Hear that rooster crowin’ down on the Double E
It’s a new morning dawning on the green
Bouncing off the towers, the sun’s heading down to the street
The business meeting window shades are drawn
Another morning edition was headed for the porch
Because Grandma puts down the paper before Grandpa raises his fork
A little love and affection in everything you do
A better place
Hear that rooster crowing down on the Double E
