High School Graduation Lyrics - Neil Young

The brick jail doors 

that closed behind are cracking 

The school boy told the woman in the street 

Last night 

I heard the bells of summer rapping 

The word vows of a mother incomplete 

The emptiness of summer must begin it 

The nagging of the mother of the wild 

Convinced me that I had no way to win it 

She took it from my hand and then she smiled 

The coldness 

of the closeness of the moonbeam 

The walking in the dawn to greet the night 

The water and the flower is a bad dream 

The stocking drawn reveals the end of sight

It's over 'cause it's older than the midnight 

The school boy told the woman on the street 

The joining of the weekend - Monday daylight 

Will leave the black rose meeting incomplete.
