Speakin' Out

Neil Young · Tonight's the Night [1975]

I went to the movie

the other night,

The plot was groovy,

it was out of sight.

I sat with my popcorn,

out lookin' for good times

Lost in the cartoon,

I grabbed the lifeline.



I've been a searcher,

I've been a fool,

But I've been a long time

comin' to you.

I'm hopin' for your love

to carry me through

You're holdin' my baby,

and I'm holdin' you,

And it's all right.



Oh, tell me where

the answer lies.

Is it in the notebook

behind your eyes?

When your decision

comes to view,

I'll be watchin' my TV,

and it'll be watchin' you.



I've been a searcher,

I've been a fool,

But I've been a long time

comin' to you.

I'm hopin' for your love

to carry me through

You're holdin' my baby,

and I'm holdin' you,

Yes I am.



Speakin' out.
