Crosby Stills & Nash - JUST A SONG BEFORE I GO (lyrics / from vinyl LP CSN)
Just a song before I go
To whom it may concern
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned
When the shows were over
We had to get back home
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone
She helped me with my suitcase
She stands before my eyes
Driving me to the airport
And to the friendly skies
Going through security
I held her for so long
She finally looked at me in love
And she was gone
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Just a song before I go
A lesson to be learned
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned
[Ending (Acoustic Guitar)]

All posts in this channel are rendered in old school using restored vinyl LPs. Unless noted, this channel does not use recordings from CDs. As much as possible, I attempted to remove most of the pops and crackles from the original vinyl album. Some remastering was applied to make the performance cut through within the confines of the loudness wars.
Hope you enjoy.
