Neil Young – Milky Way lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was lookin' like a friend of mine
The first time I saw her face
I was approaching at the end of the line
The first time I ever saw her smile at me that way

[Pre-Chorus]
I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories that weren't that day

[Chorus]
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
But somehow I survived
And became free

[Verse 2]
She was walking like she knew
Where she was going
Walking like she knew
She was walking right up to me

[Pre-Chorus]
I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories that weren't that day

[Chorus]
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
But somehow I survived
And became free

[Bridge]
The starry night with no moonshine
The day without a cloud
A long ladder but no one climbing
A stranger in the crowd

[Verse 3]
There's a mermaid in the Milky Way
With an [ocean liner?]
There's no moon tonight so you might see her
And her [ocean liner?]
Up in the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories that weren't that day

[Chorus]
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
But somehow I survived
And became free
