Cover art for Harvest lyrics by Neil Young

the lyrics in this song is really sad i am lead to beleive he used to go out with a girl who's mother tryed to commit suicide by jumping down the stairs. read the start of the song again. in there relationship neil tryed to say to her i will be there for you hence the line "Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man" but he did not love her as much as she loved him thats why its says "Will I see you give more than I can take? Will I only harvest some?"
