Young, Neil - Red Sun Lyrics

When the red sun sets
on the railroad town,
And the bars begin to laugh
with a happy sound,
I'll still be here
right by your side,
There'll not be anyone
in my heart but you.

And the dreams that you're having,
they won't let you down,
If you just follow on
'cause you know
where you're bound,
The well will be flowing
and the words will come fast,
When the one who is coming
arrives here at last

On the grassy hills
of the railroad town,
Where we cut through the fences
and over the crown,
Where wind was blowing
right through your hair,
I dreamt that my Momma
and Daddy were there

And the dreams that you're having,
they won't let you down,
If you just follow on
'cause you know
where you're bound,
The well will be flowing
and the words will come fast,
When the one who is coming
arrives here at last

When the red sun sets
on the railroad town,
And bars begin to laugh
with the happy sound,
I'll still be here
right by your side,
There'll not be another
in my heart but you

Neil Young and Emmylou Harris, great collaboration on a great song

"........When the one who is coming
arrives here at last....."

Sing this song to my daughter every night when putting her to bed.

in risu faciunt panem ac vinum ut epulentur viventes et pecuniae oboedient omnia

I'm curious man,what language is that you speaking there? kind regards,Howling Al

@allan munro It's in latin, it's probably a verse from the bible

Another timeless jewel from our old friend, Neil Young. 🌹

If you'll listen closely, you'll hear another great canadian singer-songwriter, John K Samson

I'm 58, a Neil Young fan... forever, since high-school.  Fans should check out ‘Emerald Eyes’ on Amazon.  It’s about how Neil Young's music helped a teenager find meaning again after losing his father in a tragic mill accident.  Tom, becomes distant and withdrawn throughout his adolescence but after feeling 'in tune' with Neil's music, buys a Martin D-18 guitar and secretly starts singing and writing. Great read with an unexpected 'twist' at the end. A feel good moment for Neil Young fans.

Remembering hearing this in my friends house for the first time, love it

I saw neil in Nottingham before he did glastonbury still not over that night still leaves me breathless red sun sets allways x
