Testo Powderfinger - Neil Young
Testo della canzone Powderfinger (Neil Young), tratta dall'album Weld (Live)
Look out mama, there's a white bird coming up the river
With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rig
I think you better call John
It don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun that's making big waves
Daddy's gone and my brother's out hunting in the mountain
Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou
So the powers that be left me here to do the thinking
And I just turned twenty-two
I was wondering what to do
The closer they got, the more those feelings grew
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
He told me red beats run, son, numbers add up to nothing
When the first shot hit the dock, I saw it coming
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black and my face flashed in the sky
Shelter me from the powder and the anger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Just think of me as one you never figured
Was gonna fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her
