    Neil Young - The Old Laughing Lady Lyrics

    Don't call pretty Peggy,
    she can't hear you nomore
    Don't leave no message
    'round herback door.
    They say the old laughing lady
    beenhere before
    She don't keep time,
    shedon't count score.

    You can't have acupboard
    if there ain't no wall.
    You got tomove there's
    no time left to stall.
    They saythe old laughing lady
    dropped by to call
    And whenshe leaves,
    she leaves nothing at all.

    Seethe drunkard of the village
    falling on the street.
    Can't tell his ankles
    from the rest of hisfeet.
    He loves his old laughing lady
    'causeher taste is so sweet.
    But his laughing lady'sloving
    ain't the kind he can keep.

    There's a fever on the freeway,
    blacks out thenight.
    There's a slipping on the stairway,
    just don't feel right
    And there's a rumbling
    in the bedroom
    and a flashing of light
    There's the old laughing lady,
    everything is allright.

    There is a town in north Ontario,
    With dream comfort memory to spare,
    And in my mind
    I still need a place to go,
    All my changes were there.

    Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
    Yellow moon on the rise,
    Big birds flying across the sky,
    Throwing shadows on our eyes.
    Leave us

    Helpless, helpless, helpless
    Baby can you hear me now?
    The chains are locked
    and tied across the door,
    Baby, sing with me somehow.

    Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
    Yellow moon on the rise,
    Big birds flying across the sky,
    Throwing shadows on our eyes.
    Leave us

    Helpless, helpless, helpless.
