Borrowed Time Songtext
von Neil Young

I′m climbin' this ladder,
My head in the clouds
I hope that it matters,
I′m havin' my doubts.

I'm watchin′ the skaters
Fly by on the lake.
Ice frozen six feet deep,
How long does it take?


I look out on peaceful lands
With no war nearby,
An ocean of shakin′ hands
That grab at the sky.

I'm singin′ this borrowed tune
I took from the Rolling Stones,
Alone in this empty room
Too wasted to write my own.

I'm climbin′ this ladder,
My heads in the clouds
I hope that it matters.
