My Pledge歌词
Written by:Neil Young If it please the court I have a lot to say And it's not always been true Standing here before you judge I make my pledge of truth to you The waves came over the bowsprit The decks awash with running green and foam Back there at the wheel I was terrified Next day we first saw home My relatives came over on the mayflower Landed on the shore almost alone God damn traffic today is terrible And everywhere I look I see people alone Alone with their heads in their hands Lost in the conversation stare Walking with their eyes looking at the screen Talking like they were really there I'm lost in this new generation Left me behind it seems Listening to the shadow of jimi hendrix Purple haze sounding like TV I stepped on someone's hand laying on the street Both asleep and dead it may seem He didn't even move there on the sidewalk I stood there staring in a dream She came along in her uniform Stood moving me away with a gentle hand Dressed in white like a nightingale Her name was florence florence of the land I knew I'd seen her somewhere I knew I'd seen her somewhere But she was busy with him gone She came with three different brothers Abraham martin and john I heard a song about that once And I never knew what it meant Three stars guiding a plane one night Rock and roll the message was sent I couldn't wrap my head around it Didn't know what it meant Standing there on that sandy beach Watching it turn to cement Now I don't see all the colors And I might miss some of their beauty But I do see what I see And I want to do my duty And listing in the navy in the corner store They had a recruiting booth I covered my heart and raised my hand And swore it was the truth That's my pledge That's my pledge That's my pledge judge That's my pledge
