The Loner

Album: Neil Young (1969)

  • He's a perfect stranger
    Like a cross of himself and a fox
    He's a feeling arranger
    And a changer of the ways he talks
    He's the unforeseen danger
    The keeper of the key to the locks
    Know when you see him
    Nothing can free him
    Step aside, open wide
    It's the loner

    If you see him in the subway
    He'll be down at the end of the car
    Watching you move
    Until he knows, he knows who you are
    When you get off at your station alone
    He'll know that you are
    Know when you see him
    Nothing can free him
    Step aside, open wide
    It's the loner

    There was a woman he knew
    About a year or so ago
    She had something that he needed
    And he pleaded with her not to go
    On the day that she left
    He died, but it did not show
    Know when you see him
    Nothing can free him
    Step aside, open wide
    It's the loner Writer/s: Neil Young
