"Milky Way" lyrics - NEIL YOUNG

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

[Chorus:]
I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories that weren't that day
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
But somehow I survived
And became free

[Guitar solo]

She was walking like she knew
Where she was going
Walking like she knew
She was walking right up to me

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

[Guitar solo]

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

[Chorus:]
I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories that weren't that day
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
But somehow I survived
And became free

[Guitar solo]
