· Neil Young – Words (Between The Lines Of Ages)

Recently rediscovered this song from his “cross over” album Harvest (1972). The song has the feel of a one take recording, I think it is just that. Especially the guitar improvisation between the two verses is completly heartbreaking and sweeps me of my feet every time.
Want to hear it in a 30 minutes version played live by you know who.

Someone and someone were down by the pond
Looking for something to plant in the lawn.
Out in the fields they were turning the soil
Im sitting here hoping this water will boil
When I look through the windows and out on the road
They’re bringing me presents and saying hello.
Singing words, words between the lines of age.
Words, words between the lines of age.

If I was a junkman selling you cars,
Washing your windows and shining your stars,
Thinking your mind was my own in a dream
What would you wonder and how would it seem?
Living in castles a bit at a time
The king started laughing and talking in rhyme.
Singing words, words between the lines of age.
Words, words between the lines of age.
