Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye.

The song was written in July 1975 after Young had just undergone an operation on his vocal chords after a cocaine-fueled night with friend. \"We were all really high, fucked up. Been out partying. Wrote it sitting up at Vista Point on Skyline. Supposed to be the highest point in San Mateo County, which was appropriate. I wrote it when I couldn't sing. I was on voice rest. It was nuts - I was whistling it. I wrote a lot of songs when I couldn't talk.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Neil Young" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/neil-young/once-i-thought-i-saw-you-in-a-crowded-hazy-bar-dancing-on-the-light/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9e8/neil-young-969_brown-eyes_once-i-thought-i-saw-you-in-a-crowded-ha_2166942.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9e8/neil-young-969_brown-eyes_once-i-thought-i-saw-you-in-a-crowded-ha_2166942.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9e8/neil-young-969_brown-eyes_once-i-thought-i-saw-you-in-a-crowded-ha_2166942.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light from star to star.
