The album "After the Gold Rush" (Neil Young) was supposed to the sound track for a movie; then somebody pulled the plug. I thought it might be a fun experiment to do a song that feels like it was meant to be in a non-standard alien invasion film. In my film the aliens are unimaginative tourists who simply fill the sky with their ships and block out the sun most of the time.

[G] I'm watching birdies above me flying and of some of them roost in my brain[am] I'm battening down hatches [D] and I'm sweeping the deck again
Dogs are rowing out to meet mefaces smile as I sail pastlittle children out on the shorelinelaugh as they roll through the grass
[C-Amin] the ships are slowly descending[D] the eyes lift into the skythe last patch of blue is closingthe shadows racing silently by
clouds shapes strange and familiarshapes I see in my mindtrees are pointing us eastwardWeigh the anchor, If you'd be so kind
the ships are slowly descendingthe eyes lift into the skythe last patch of blue is closingthe shadows racing silently byHand over hand downward drawingleeward we fade and we fallsomething magic fills the sailwithout any effort at all
theres a gull sitting here with mewatching me one eye at a timeHe launches himself into the airweigh the anchor is you'd be so kind
the ships are slowly descendingthe eyes lift into the skythe last patch of blue is closingthe shadows racing silently by
weigh the anchor is you'd be so kind

when i was a young boy
and not half as smart
i had no direction
and no way to start
but it wasn't blue
some somehow i knew
that out there was you.
I got a bit older
things got a bit tough
life unforgiving
folks can be rough
but i wasn't blue
cause somehow I knew
that out there was you
you go your way
and you work and play
and try to make sense
of it all
but it doesn't mean a thing
if you got some better thing
waiting for you....
I searched forever
until i was done
I had some adventures
I had my fun
and i'm never blue
cause now that they're through
I'm stuck here with you
