[00:00.58]My Pledge - Neil Young
[00:01.36]Written by：Neil Young
[00:02.32]
[00:21.88]If it please the court I have a lot to say
[00:25.28]And it's not always been true
[00:26.83]
[00:29.02]Standing here before you judge
[00:30.61]
[00:31.73]I make my pledge of truth to you
[00:33.79]
[00:35.50]The waves came over the bowsprit
[00:37.63]
[00:38.39]The decks awash with running green and foam
[00:40.93]
[00:42.29]Back there at the wheel I was terrified
[00:44.46]
[00:45.52]Next day we first saw home
[00:47.25]
[00:48.99]My relatives came over on the mayflower
[00:51.48]
[00:52.52]Landed on the shore almost alone
[00:54.36]
[00:56.17]God damn traffic today is terrible
[00:58.35]
[00:59.04]And everywhere I look I see people alone
[01:01.00]
[01:02.58]Alone with their heads in their hands
[01:05.14]
[01:06.04]Lost in the conversation stare
[01:08.18]
[01:09.43]Walking with their eyes looking at the screen
[01:11.88]
[01:12.51]Talking like they were really there
[01:14.27]
[01:22.77]I'm lost in this new generation
[01:26.00]Left me behind it seems
[01:27.37]
[01:29.69]Listening to the shadow of jimi hendrix
[01:32.00]
[01:32.86]Purple haze sounding like TV
[01:34.76]
[01:36.48]I stepped on someone's hand laying on the street
[01:39.30]
[01:40.39]Both asleep and dead it may seem
[01:42.18]
[01:43.42]He didn't even move there on the sidewalk
[01:45.75]
[01:46.67]I stood there staring in a dream
[01:48.62]
[01:50.35]She came along in her uniform
[01:52.07]
[01:53.50]Stood moving me away with a gentle hand
[01:55.82]
[01:57.27]Dressed in white like a nightingale
[01:59.28]
[02:00.16]Her name was florence florence of the land
[02:02.66]
[02:04.08]I knew I'd seen her somewhere
[02:06.22]
[02:10.93]I knew I'd seen her somewhere
[02:12.05]
[02:13.75]But she was busy with him gone
[02:15.17]
[02:17.53]She came with three different brothers
[02:18.83]
[02:21.11]Abraham martin and john
[02:22.86]
[02:24.45]I heard a song about that once
[02:26.29]
[02:27.24]And I never knew what it meant
[02:28.60]
[02:31.05]Three stars guiding a plane one night
[02:33.16]
[02:34.59]Rock and roll the message was sent
[02:36.45]
[02:38.17]I couldn't wrap my head around it
[02:39.90]
[02:41.16]Didn't know what it meant
[02:42.21]
[02:45.06]Standing there on that sandy beach
[02:47.58]
[02:48.61]Watching it turn to cement
[02:50.09]
[02:52.10]Now I don't see all the colors
[02:53.90]
[02:55.28]And I might miss some of their beauty
[02:56.87]
[02:58.71]But I do see what I see
[03:00.23]
[03:02.00]And I want to do my duty
[03:03.81]
[03:05.74]And listing in the navy in the corner store
[03:08.32]
[03:09.10]They had a recruiting booth
[03:10.58]
[03:12.47]I covered my heart and raised my hand
[03:15.13]
[03:16.02]And swore it was the truth
[03:17.66]
[03:19.93]That's my pledge
[03:20.58]
[03:25.78]That's my pledge
[03:26.39]
[03:30.25]That's my pledge judge
[03:31.22]
[03:38.92]That's my pledge
