Don't Let It Bring You Down - Neil Young

From Neil Young's album, "After the Gold Rush".

Lyrics:
Old man sitting
by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking
from the weight of the load
And the building scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping
down the allay at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying
by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Blind man running
through the light
of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down
to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Red lights flashing
through the window
in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying
in a gutter in the lane,
If you're walking home alone.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

I do believe Ralph Molina is actually using a high-hat in this cut.

[TheRedemtion]

Bone Chilling Neil !

[Brian Allan]

To my mind, the best cut on After the Gold Rush.

I spent the summer of 1971 walking around Santa Fe, trying to look like Neil, same scowl, everything (I was sixteen).

[Paul Ramone]

Great song but please people, stop mentioning "Asshole" Rose.  It is an insult to Neil.
