Helpless Lyrics
There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
and in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there,
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us...
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us...
Helpless, helpless, helpless
With dream comfort memory to spare,
and in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Helpless, helpless, helpless

one of the greatest songs ever
This touching song by Neil Young basically conveys the message "you can't go home again." He pines for the town of his youth, which holds much significance: "All my changes were there." He could go visit the town but he can't return to his youth. He and the town have both changed, leaving him feeling "helpless, helpless, helpless." This song inspires many listeners to think of their own childhoods and their places of significance, and knowing that we can't return to our youth, we may shed a tear and find ourselves singing along: "Helpless, helpless, helpless .."
Progress with a question mark. Reminds me a little of Cat Stevens' "Where Do The Children Play?".
possibly the most emotional song ive ever heard. if any song makes me break down and cry, its this one.
I'm thinking of running off to Ontario for the summer and this song seriously helps me mull over this.
