  • See the sky about to rain, broken clouds and rain
    Locomotive, pull the train, whistle blowing through my brain
    Signals curling on an open plain, rolling down the track again
    See the sky about to rain

    Some are bound for happiness, some are bound to glory
    Some are bound to live with less, who can tell your story?

    See the sky about to rain, broken clouds and rain
    Locomotive, pull the train, whistle blowin' through my brain
    Signals curlin' on an open plain, rollin' down the track again
    See the sky about to rain

    I was down in Dixie Land, played a silver fiddle
    Played it loud and then the man broke it down the middle
    See the sky about to rain

    See the sky is about to rain
    See the sky is about to rain
    Ah, ah, ah, ah Writer/s: Neil Young
