Helpless (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, 1970). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Puka's Bar & Grill, Kahala, HI. 2023-04-19. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"

"Helpless," written by Neil Young, is found on Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 1970 album "Déjà Vu" (Whitburn, 2006). "This song is about the town of Omemee in Ontario. In 1949, Neil's parents moved there with him when he was just four years old. Young describes it as "a nice little town. Sleepy little place... Life was real basic and simple in that town. Walk to school, walk back. Everybody knew who you were. Everybody knew everybody" (songfacts, 2023).

Lyrics:

There is a town in North Ontario
Dream comfort memory to spare
And in my mind I still need a place to go
All my changes were there

Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes

Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
Babe, can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door
Baby, sing with me somehow

Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes

Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
