Love In Mind
Neil Young · Live At Massey Hall 1971 [2007]
with love in mind
It was raining outside
but my love still shined
Kept me warm
till my plane touched the sky
And I've seen love
make a fool of a man
He tried to make a loser win.
But I've got nothing to lose
I can't get back again.
Man made rules
been holdin' back my love
Can't hold it back no more.
Churches long preach sex is wrong
Jesus where is nature gone?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
Woke up this morning
with love in mind
It was raining outside
but my love still shined
Kept me warm
till my plane touched the sky
