My Pledge歌词

My Pledge - Neil Young
Written by：Neil Young
If it please the court I have a lot to say
And it's not always been true
Standing here before you judge
I make my pledge of truth to you
The waves came over the bowsprit
The decks awash with running green and foam
Back there at the wheel I was terrified
Next day we first saw home
My relatives came over on the mayflower
Landed on the shore almost alone
God damn traffic today is terrible
And everywhere I look I see people alone
Alone with their heads in their hands
Lost in the conversation stare
Walking with their eyes looking at the screen
Talking like they were really there
I'm lost in this new generation
Left me behind it seems
Listening to the shadow of jimi hendrix
Purple haze sounding like TV
I stepped on someone's hand laying on the street
Both asleep and dead it may seem
He didn't even move there on the sidewalk
I stood there staring in a dream
She came along in her uniform
Stood moving me away with a gentle hand
Dressed in white like a nightingale
Her name was florence florence of the land
I knew I'd seen her somewhere
I knew I'd seen her somewhere
But she was busy with him gone
She came with three different brothers
Abraham martin and john
I heard a song about that once
And I never knew what it meant
Three stars guiding a plane one night
Rock and roll the message was sent
I couldn't wrap my head around it
Didn't know what it meant
Standing there on that sandy beach
Watching it turn to cement
Now I don't see all the colors
And I might miss some of their beauty
But I do see what I see
And I want to do my duty
And listing in the navy in the corner store
They had a recruiting booth
I covered my heart and raised my hand
And swore it was the truth
That's my pledge
That's my pledge
That's my pledge judge
That's my pledge编辑于2016/12/09更新
