Till I Pass This Way Again
Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young
Won't you take a walk with me.
I know a place where we can go
Grab a bite to eat.
Hello lonely woman.
Are you feelin' all right?
Well, you look just like heaven
On a clear clear night.
Well, I know you're a lonely woman
And I know what's on your mind
I won't ask you any favors
I'm familiar with your kind.
I know you need me
Like a river needs rain
I won't ask you any favors
Until I pass this way again.
Well, hello lonely woman
Won't you take a walk with me.
I know a place where we can go
Grab a bite to eat.
Hello lonely woman.
Are you feelin' all right?
Well, you look just like heaven
On a clear clear night.
Well, I know you're a lonely woman
And I know what's on your mind
I won't ask you any favors
I'm familiar with your kind.
I know you need me
Like a river needs rain
I won't ask you any favors
Until I pass this way again.
