"The Long Day Before" lyrics - NEIL YOUNG

In the old days and the newer days
The present days and the future days
Tomorrow will never be late
If your dreams can come true

On the true days and the lyin' days
The crowd stays and the purple haze
Is floating down from the sky
That's where it shows

On the TV in the newscast
They're never gonna talk about
On the front page of the Internet
You're never gonna see about
The big thing in the room
That's happening right now

[Bridge:]
In the long day before
To the night of the morning after it
Will live on as a memory of fate

It's so big that you can't see it
So large that it's you and me
It's nothing, if not the dream we have
Is not coming true

[Harmonica solo]

People swear it's a conspiracy
A dirty trick to get you and me
Into believing
That something's that real
