Words & Music by Neil Young
Arranged, Performed, and Produced by Jason Clemence

Did I see you down
In a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain?
I was almost there
At the top of the stairs
With her screaming in the rain

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man

Did I see you walking with the boys?
Though it was not hand-in-hand
And was some black face in a lonely place
When you could understand?

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man

Will I see you give more than I can take?
Will I only harvest some?
As the days fly past
Will we lose our grasp
Or fuse it in the sun?

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man

Dream up, dream up
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
