Album: Déjà Vu (1970)
Play Video
  • One morning I woke up and I knew
    You were really gone
    A new day, a new way, and new eyes
    To see the dawn.
    Go your way, I'll go mine and
    Carry on

    The sky is clearing and the night
    Has cried enough
    The sun, he come, the world
    To soften up
    Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
    To carry on

    The fortunes of fables are able
    To sing the song
    Now witness the quickness with which
    We get along
    To sing the blues you've got to live the dues and
    Carry on

    Carry on
    Love is coming
    Love is coming to us all

    Where are you going now my love?
    Where will you be tomorrow?
    Will you bring me happiness?
    Will you bring me sorrow?
    Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
    What you do and what you see
    Lover can you talk to me?

    Girl when I was on my own
    Chasing you down
    What was it made you run?
    Trying your best just to get around.
    The questions of a thousand dreams
    What you do and what you see
    Lover can you talk to me? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Caroline from Ontario, CanadaA major part of this song is lifted directly from Questions by Buffalo Springfield.
  • Richard from Beaverton, OrThe song also appears on CSN, a 4-CD compilation released in 1991. Though there, some sources list it as "Medley". The 4 disc set is interesting because it includes (really good) alternate takes such as Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, and unreleased songs, like Blackbird.
  • Joey from California Oh the questions
    Of a thousand dreams
    What you do and who you see


    Those Voices!
  • Dan from Winthrop, MaRead Long Time Gone.Cros pointed out that Richard Pryor died because he was wearing polyester.
  • Andy from Glen Burnie, Md"6/8 groove"? Sorry Dallas, I don't hear that...
  • Peter Griffin from Quahog, RiSo many people consider the Led Zeppelin song, Friends, to be a direct plagarism, melody wise, of this song. The two songs only slightly resemble each other.
  • Mike from Atlanta, GaThey all snorted Cocaine while they were doing their first 2 albums. Then David wore out his nostrils. He had to come up with another way to do coke without snorting it! He became a free-baser, and then that was the worst thing he could have done. Ever hear of the comedian, Richard Pryer? He almost burned himself up, doing the same thing! It takes a torch and melting the coke to smoke! He and his girlfrind almost burned themselves alive while doing on many occasions! He did that until he couldn't do it anymore, and started doing heroin! You should read his two books! Thank God, it does have a happy ending for his wife Jan (who had her own problems)and the Cros.!!!!
  • Heather from Los Angeles, CaNot too much interpretation here about what this song means. I don't know what it means, but I love it.
