  • If I could hold on to just one thought
    For long enough to know
    Why my mind is moving so fast
    And the conversation is slow
    Burn off all the fog
    And let the sun through to the snow
    Let me see your face again
    Before I have to go

    I have seen you in the movies
    And in those magazines at night
    I saw you on the bar stool
    When you held that glass so tight
    And I saw you in my nightmares
    But I'll see you in my dreams
    And I might live a thousand years
    Before I know what that means

    Once there was a friend of mine
    Who died a thousand deaths
    His life was filled with parasites
    And countless idle threats
    He trusted in a woman
    And on her he made his bets
    Once there was a friend of mine
    Who died a thousand deaths Writer/s: Neil Young
