Borrowed tune de Neil Young

I'm climbin' this ladder,
my head in the clouds
i hope that it matters,
i'm havin' my doubts.
I'm watchin' the skaters
fly by on the lake.
ice frozen six feet deep,
how long does it take?
I look out on peaceful lands
with no war nearby,
an ocean of shakin' hands
that grab at the sky.
I'm singin' this borrowed tune
i took from the rolling stones,
alone in this empty room
too wasted to write my own.
I'm climbin' this ladder,
my heads in the clouds
i hope that it matters.
