There's a lot to learn
For wastin' time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind

Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love
You own it
You own it now
You own it

There's a weight on you
But you can't feel it
Livin' like I do
It's hard for you to see it

Was I hurt too bad
Can I show you daylight
How could I be sad
When I know that you might

Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love

Look out for my love
It's in your neighborhood
I know things are gonna change
But I can't say bad or good

Silver wings of mornin'
Shinin' in the gray day
While the ice is formin'
On a lonely runway

Hydraulic wipers pumpin'
'Til the window glistens
Somethin' sayin' somethin'
No one seems to listen

Men with walkie-talkies
Men with flashlights waving
Up upon the tower
Time reads daylight savings

I'm home again to you, babe
You know it makes me wonder
Sitting in the quiet slipstream
In the thunder

Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love

    My favorite Neil Young song, particularly the Unplugged version. The way Neil changes the meaning of "Look out" by his inflection and tone just sends chills up my spine. What begins sounding like a warning evolves into a plea for understanding and compassion. It's exactly the way I felt when I met my lover.
