The Painter by Neil Young Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The painter stood
Before her work
She looked around everywhere
She saw the pictures
And she painted them
She picked the colors from the air

[Verse 2]
Green to green
Red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black
When the evening comes
Blue to blue in the night

[Chorus]
It's a long road behind me
It's a long road ahead
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
[Verse 3]
She towed the line
She held her end up
She did the work of two men
But in the end
She fell down
Before she got up again

[Verse 4]
I keep my friends
Eternally
We leave our tracks in the sound
Some of them
Are with me now
Some of them can't be found

[Chorus]
It's a long road behind me
And I miss you now
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might get lost

[Verse 5]
Green to green
Red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black
When the evening comes
Blue to blue through the night
