Borrowed Tune Lyrics

I'm climbin' this ladder,
My head in the clouds
I hope that it matters,
I'm havin' my doubts.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e20667-neil_young~borrowed_tune_lyrics.html ]
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.
