Neil Young + Promise of the Real
Change of Heart
[Verse 1]
Talk to the people, they know the truth
Time don't mean nothing, it's the ways that you choose
To go on living inside your house
Or move a mountain, an elephant or a mouse
Instead of staying and dying inside
Sometimes you move, sometimes you ride away
[Verse 2]
Don't tell no stories, don't tell no lies
Not even the ones you already tried
Not proud of lies, nothing is saved
Just a road to nowhere, your name engraved
[Verse 3]
They pick up on you as you pick up on them
Just cause they're birds don't mean you can't fly
So don't be sorry, the pastor touched my hand
Here on the church steps, I was 9 or 10
[Chorus]
I had a change of heart
Was a change of heart
A change of heart
[Verse 4]
Life is confusing, love is time bent
Hate is not worth using even as cement
To build your walls that you hide behind
And not see over and it blows your mind
There's hate there now that never was
Love is waiting just because of you, 'cause
[Verse 5]
There's nothing sacred, a blind man said
I see your feelings inside my head
I can't predict it, what happens next
I love a future I don't expect
You fortune tellers, you take my hand
See what's there, it's sifting sands
[Chorus]
I had a change of heart
It was a change of heart
Just a change of heart
[Verse 6]
I was the ocean, washed up here
I'm your emotions, I'm your fresh beard
So drink me up and laugh away
And let's all continue on another day
Maybe tomorrow our ship will come in
And we'll set the sails for oblivion
[Verse 7]
Not so fast, let's not give up
Let's don't be angry and spill the cup
Well we're still drinking and I'm feeling so high
My eyes are waterlogged, let's give it a try
Come on baby, I'm ready to rock
Give me all you've got and then let's talk
[Chorus]
It's a change of heart
I had a change of heart
Just a change of heart
