After The Gold Rush Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

written by Neil Young 

© 1970 Cotillion Music / Broken Arrow Music (BMI) 

Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming 

Sayin' something about a queen 

There were peasants singing and drummers drumming 

And the archer split the tree 

There was a fanfare blowing to the sun 

There was floating on the breeze 

Look at Mother Nature on the run 

In the Twentieth Century 

Look at Mother Nature on the run 

In the Twentieth Century 

I was lying in a burned out basement 

With the full moon in my eyes 

I was hoping for replacement 

When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playing in my head 

And I felt like I could cry 

I was thinking about what a friend had said 

I was hoping it was a lie 

Thinking about what a friend had said 

I was hoping it was a lie 

I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying 

In the yellow haze of the sun 

There were children crying and colors flying 

All around the chosen ones 

All in a dream, all in a dream 

The loading had begun 

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed 

To a new home in the sun 

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed 

To a new home
