Neil Young + Promise of the Real
Almost Always
[Verse 1]
Lately I been thinking 'bout the changing world
Trying to fit in pieces of dreams
Just trying to add it up, figure out what it means
When a lost planet comes tumbling home

[Verse 2]
Does it have to have a beard to break free from what is here
And continue to pick up those pieces of dreams?
And I'm living with a gameshow host who has to brag and has to boast
About tearing down the things that I hold dear

[Verse 3]
While the day is with us and the birds are near
Singing in the sun, basking in its light
As it's just risen through the fogs of fear
Can I take a minute to do what's right?

[Verse 4]
Before that starts me thinking, distracting me again
Do I have something to say?
Maybe just a feeling that things are bound to change
Or just that crazy searchlight lighting someone's way

[Verse 5]
I'm not gonna work it out right here and right now
I got some things to do, got some calls to make
Hear that crazy little bird calling out its song
Standing out on a limb almost too long
[Outro]
Staying out 'til it's May
She answers every time
She answers every time, every time
Almost always
