  • When you dance,
    Do your senses tingle?
    Then take a chance?
    In a trance,
    While the lonely mingle
    With circumstance?

    I've got
    something to tell you,
    you make it show.
    Let me come over,
    I know you know
    When you dance
    I can really love.

    I can love,
    I can really love,
    I can really love
    I can love,
    I can really love,
    I can really love

    Like a
    mountain that's growing
    a river that rolls
    Let me come over,
    I know you know
    When you dance
    I can really love.

    When you dance,
    Do your senses tingle?
    Then take a chance?
    In a trance,
    While the lonely mingle
    With circumstance?

    I've got
    something to tell you,
    you make it show.
    Let me come over,
    I know you know
    When you dance
    I can really love. Writer/s: Neil Young

  • Js from PaI also heard the band talking (listening with headphones), & ended up here while trying to find out what's being said. I've heard the song lots of times, but this was the first time I noticed it.
  • Ruudtes from HollandThe 2014 Pono remaster of the album "After The Gold Rush" has voices clearly on the left channel from 2:50 to 2:53, during the outtro guitar solo.
  • John Roberts from Chicago, IllIn the version of this song on the Net the band voices can be heard in the left speaker, but in the version on my '86 CD album of 'After the Gold Rush' the voices have been mixed out. Cheers, John.
