There is a town in north Ontario,

With 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
Baby can you hear me now?(helpless, helpless, helpless)
The chains are locked and tied across the door(helpless,helpless, helpless)
Baby, sing with me somehow.(helpless, helpless, helpless)

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

3. However much I'd like to say yes, credit must go to Neil Young

4. Yes, Neil wrote it and if you watch the movie "The Last Waltz"

You can hear the best version I've ever heard with Joni Mitchell out of sight off-stage doing the back-up vocal.
