Powderfinger - Neil Young cover vs2

New sketch I'm working on, it's been a while so I thought I'd share :) 

Thanks so much for listening everyone! 

If You're Listening
Hey you up there are you listening?
Because I feel so all alone
And I mingle with the people
But it doesn't feel like home.
I greet them with an open heart
And the smile will reach my eyes
But somehow this soul is set apart
Wearing courage her disguise

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the sunrise
In the dancing of the leaves
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

I float on with the river
And as I crash upon the stones
The cleansing flow it brings new hope
And it's seeping through my bones.
Spirit guides, please guide me
I've surely lost my way
I don't know if I should fight or hide
Paralyzed by fear or faith.

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the rainfall
And I hear it on the breeze
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

Here I stand with my arms open wide
I raise my voice up to the night
And the lady moon she shines so bright
And I swear she whispers..... "It's alright"
Love, love, love
Always just beyond my reach
I feel it in the starlight
In the ground beneath my feet
Love, love, love
Here I'm down on bended knee
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Will you save some love for me
Hey you up there if you're listening
Will you save some love 
For me?

If You're Listening

A new song about my home suburb, will be released as part of a double A side single soon on Metal Postcard Records.

Maylands, you're on your way, a sunlit day, hangs before us.
Maylands, the lion roars, the swallows soar, the milk gets poured so

Stand in line, it's breakfast time, as trains roll by the Midland line.

Maylands, you'll have your day, your lands of May, are getting nearer.
may long, the gun shop run, we will be armed, to the teeth

Stand in line, it's breakfast time, as trains roll by the Midland line.

  At last the squalls of April comes.
The sailing ships are gone
The Shalamar majestic in the sun
As the harbor fades we raise the sails
And all hands set to work 
With each swell of the ocean we move on

The Davis Strait is where were bound.
Blacklead Island and the Sound.
From Baffin Bay back home to Nova Scotia
 
The clouds hang low the sky`s are dark
The night will follow soon.
The changing of the seasons come and go.
A friendly wind..a guiding star
The rhythm of the sea 
Sailing soft upon the ebb and flow .

The Davis Strait is where were bound.
Blacklead Island and the Sound.
From Baffin Bay back home to Nova Scotia

The blacksmith and the carpenter
Are working at their trade
The steerers making sure the ropes uncoil
The sailors and the greenhands new
Repair the nets and line
The cooper makes the barrels for the oil

The Davis Strait is where were bound.
Blacklead Island and the Sound.
From Baffin Bay back home to Nova Scotia

October comes our work is done
We set our sails for home
We`ll see land before its winter time
The rigging set, the irons cleaned
The smell of paint and stain
It wont be long before the home bell chimes

The Davis Strait is where were bound.
Blacklead Island and the Sound.
From Baffin Bay back home to Nova Scotia

            Lryrics for "Sweet Heart Like you"
Well the pressure's down, the boss ain't here
 He's gone North, for a while
 They say that vanity got the best of him
 But he sure left here in style
 By the way, that's a cute hat
 And that smile's so hard to resist
 But what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know, I once knew a woman who looked like you
 She wanted a whole man, not just a half
 She used to call me sweet daddy when I was only a child
 You kind of remind me of her when you laugh
 In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear
 It's done with a flick of the wrist
 What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know a woman like you should be at home
 That's where you belong
 Taking care for somebody nice
 Who don't know how to do you wrong
 Just how much abuse will you be able to take?
 Well, there's no way to tell by that first kiss
 What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know you can make a name for yourself
 You can hear them tires squeal
 You could be known as the most beautiful woman
 Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal.

You know, news of you has come down the line
 Even before ya came in the door
 They say in your father's house, there's many a mansions
 Each one of them got a fireproof floor
 Snap out of it baby, people are jealous of you
 They smile to your face, but behind your back they hiss
 What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

Got to be an important person to be in here, honey
 Got to have done some evil deed
 Got to have your own harem when you come in the door
 Got to play your harp until your lips bleed.
 They say that patriotism is the last refuge
 To which a scoundrel clings
 Steal a little and they throw you in jail
 Steal a lot and they make you king
 There's only one step down from here, baby
 It's called the land of permanent bliss
 What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
