Left

by Neil Young

I saw the river, just pulled him down
I knew the man who hunted him down
We watched the river, take him away
Before he died, I could have sworn he said
I am the only one
I am the only one left
Tired and afraid lies a saddened man
Knelt beside him with head in hand
And escaped on a lonely breath
But before he died I could have sworn he said
I am the only one
I am the only one left
Who ever gave a damn about you
I am sorry
I am sorry
I was wrong
I was wrong
I've been wrong for way too long
I am sorry that you're gone
Just in time
To steal what's mine
Uprooting
Again
Cold and blind
Can't feel what's mine
Unpleasant
Surprise
Who was I
To think that I'd
Not be here
Again
Days unwind
As time divides
And sweeps then
All away
Rust and time
Are finally
Catching up
Stay away
Push, push away
I throw another useless moment away
To reach me
To leave this place behind me
To lead myself away
To leave the guilt behind me
To clear the path it made
Fade away from me
Fade away
Stray from me
Fade away
Stay away
Push, push away
I throw another useless moment away
To reach me
