Traces

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

Believe me,

When I tell you

That a love true

Isn't hard to find.



'Cause I found mine

And she's so fine

Like a lifeline

From across the sea.



None of the neighbors

Remember names,

They only see the faces

With destinations still unnamed.

It's hard to leave the traces

For someone to follow.
