tell me why (live) [dorothy chandler pavilion 1971] - neil young lyrics

[verse 1]
sailin’ heart ships through broken harbors
out on the waves in the night
still, the searcher must ride the dark horse
racing alone in his fright

[chorus]
tell me why
tell me why
is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
when you’re old enough to repay, but young enough to sell?

[verse 2]
tell me lies later, come and see me
i’ll be around for a while
i am lonely but you can free me
all in the way that you smile
[chorus]
tell me why
tell me why
is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
when you’re old enough to repay, but young enough to sell?

[interlude]
this is a song i wrote about my ranch
i moved up, um, north, and, um
i live out in the country
and, uh
when i bough the place, there was this old man who was working there for the people i bought it from
he was about seventy years old
he’d been, you know, like, a cattle man, you know
sort of like, he’s somethin’ that’s not ever gonna happen again
’cause the cattle business and all that just isn’t like it was
forty years ago or whatever
he’s like something that’s still alive, that— that’s dead
so i wrote a song about it
