Sugar Mountain

Its about young man watching clouds float by in the blue sky , remembering his childhood days, the sunshine is warm and breeze is quietly moving west. The young man staring up in the sky, he can recall the good and bad time that have passed - by in his mind like - its real as the day these memories were lived. He's now almost 21years old in few days, he realizes he will never be 17,18,19,20, ever again in his life. His mind is developing into an adult, a man, and his spirit, all those combined are giving him a chance to put the past behind him though music that he makes up as he walks towards the lake to remember a old fishing spot. On the lake there is huge flock of ducks and geese it's a beautiful mid October day. He runs toward the flocks like a reliving a childhood moment and scares all the birds into fight. He keeps on running by the edge of lake until he's out breath and comes to a walk. The world around him even looks a little different, The music begins to coordinate with his activity's, and he keep repeating " you cant be 20 on surge mountain though you think your leaving there to soon" He turns around and starts walking back to the spot he stared chasing the birds. He feel a little chilly, the grass is brown, and the geese, and ducks start landing back on the lake. He keeps walking until he gets back to the house and decides to put his thoughts in words on paper. Mr. Young's is his favorite singer. One day when he's 50 years old - plus- he found his old note book of poem's and sends that particular poem to Mr. Neil Young's office. Requesting that Mr. Young reads it and could it possibly be turned in to a song. Mr. Young writes back about 3 weeks later and say's " Hey man if you don't mind - Let see what I can do" and the rest of the story is history.
