Young, Neil - Little Wing Lyrics






All her friends call her Little Wing
But she flies rings around them all
She comes to town when the children sing
And leaves them feathers as if they fall
She leaves them feathers as if they fall

Little Wing, don't fly away
When the summer turns to fall
Don't you know some people say
The winter is the best time of them all
Winter is the best of all.

Young, Neil Little Wing Comments
  1. M.... S....

    Sad and beautiful.

  2. J.... O....

    Super one of the greatest Neil Young songs

  3. n.... ....

    thank you!

  4. R.... ....

    Sounds to me like he'd been listening a little to much to Magnolia by J.J. Cale

  5. W.... ....

    I always have feelings and thoughts with this song, so deep inside i can hardly focus... Pure poetry... Fuck, i'd have some weed, i'd go amazingly far, this evening... Thank you Neil

  6. J.... S....

    Beautiful and touching

  7. M.... F....

    Another great song by NY, haven't heard it in a while, just goes to show how many great songs he wrote when every once in a while you hear one and say to yourself oh I forgot about this one!

  8. K.... A....

    Happy Winter 2019!

  9. d.... ....

    not the little wing i was expecting

  10. A.... ....

    Great song!

  11. J.... S....

    Beautiful and melancholy

  12. P.... C....

    Good tune!

  13. j.... ....

    Possibly Neil's most under-appreciated song. Gloriously delicate, quietly soaring.

    j.... ....

    Right there with expecting to fly 🖤

  14. B.... B....

    Neil's voice is what gets me..I've been a fan ever since he was with CSN..I've used many of his songs with my photography, he's a one of a kind..thanks for the generations of great music Neil !
    Thanks for the upload Bigdadda20 (thumbs up)

  15. W.... ....

    probably the sweetest song i've ever heard... lyrics are simply enchanting. Jesus, I'd have some weed, i'd go amazingly far...

  16. M.... D....

    so deep so bad....thanks

  17. J.... C....

    de la grande poésie musicale, une des plus belles chansons du loner

  18. t.... ....

    One of my favorite songs ever.

  19. j.... b....

    Love his music, hate his politics

    j.... b....

    Just love the music and leave politics out of the equation. I hate politics...I love music. I live in Thailand to stay out of the mess in the U.S.

    j.... b....

    @BangTaoBeach I'd leave politics out of it if Neil would leave politics out of his concerts and just sing.

  20. P.... S....

    I think to her...She is my Little Wing. Please don't go away from my love.....

  21. c.... ....

    i love this

  22. P.... S....

    Dear Neil, I write to you from Italy. You are in my Heart and in the strings of my Guitar from many years; please go on Forever! Caro Neil, ti scrivo dall'Italia. Sei nel mio cuore e nelle corde della mia chitarra da molti anni. Per favore, continua così per sempre.

  23. S.... P....

    Little Wing is just a little piece of magic isn't? :)

  24. H.... H....

    To bad it's not on Spotify

  25. H.... D....

    Listen to Little Wing, is like sitting at the beach and watch the wild oceanside. Great.

    H.... D....

    Heino Dobberstein joahhh so ist dat nee

    H.... D....

    Heino Dobbenstein I respect your feelings, but "wild oceanside" and "beach" are the last things that comes to my mind when listening to this song

  26. C.... Y....

    I love to play this song every fall when we get our first snowfall. I look out at the foothills, watch the snow come down and play along with my Takamine 12-string. Another year has passed. Absolutely sublime. Thanks Neil.

  27. M.... ....

    Wonderful song.

  28. m.... h....

    many thanks for posting this bigdadda 20

  29. S.... F....

    gratidão!!! Thanks!!

  30. R.... W....

    "The winter is the best time of them all..."

  31. R.... W....

    I love this song so much !

  32. C.... L....

    Great record, under-rated imho.

  33. R.... A....

    sounds a lot like magnolia/ jjcale

    R.... A....

    Because it is. Neil was a big fan of J.J. Cale. Maybe Cale got some royalties. Should have for sure.

  34. e.... ....

    emotional

  35. T.... H....

    Hell what a great song by a man who i consider the greatest songwriter of all time besides Nick Cave, Paul Kelly and many others

  36. r.... c....

    Ya gotta check out Neil and the Ducks version..thanks.

  37. j.... ....

    Great album. For some reason was never released on cd???

    j.... ....

    +jbstrummer It was released, eventually, like many of his records. Listen to the CD all the time!

    j.... ....

    +bear claw had it now for a couple months, love it

  38. L.... D....

    Thanks for the upload! :)

  39. L.... D....

    This is such a great song. I wonder why it's not more popular.

    L.... D....

    Because he has written a busload of great songs., it is one of them waiting for more people to find out.

    L.... D....

    @Ze Liu I hope one day they will.

  40. T.... H....

    for all his critics neil young remains one of the most unique and creative musicians of all time

    T.... H....

    Yup, and his appreciators outnumber his critics many, many fold. Also I'd hazard a guess as to say they are vastly more ardent in their appreciation than those critics are in their criticising. Ol' Neil knows which group really matter - and he wisely worked when to head for the ditch pretty early in his career.

  41. f.... ....

    So thankful you uploaded this. Can't believe Neil is 70.....I can't believe the age that I am.......life is just too short. Happy Birthday, Neil.

    f.... ....

    +funwithFred I love this so muck; just wish the label reflects that!

    f.... ....

    funwithFred it’s not short ,it just goes by to fast

  42. g.... ....

    neil young: genius

  43. b.... c....

    "Some people say..."

  44. K.... T....

    my wifes cherokee name is LITTLE WING LA-TO-QUE-AH first heard it by hendrix then later on neil I knew then there was something special about that name 
    I LOVE YOU BABY

  45. R.... Y....

    and "Winter" is coming............................................

    R.... Y....

    +Richard Young It's here now.

  46. r.... p....

    One of Neil's most underappreciated albums, imo. Little Wing, Captain Kennedy, Coastline, Union Man, Comin' Apart at Every Nail, Hawks and Doves, all great.

    r.... p....

    YES me too. It's got a great swing to it that is not like other Neil albums (particularly evident on Coastline) and he was wise enough to keep it short. It repays repeated listenings, this one. NOT the same big acoustic wash of CaT - Goin' Back, Four Strong Winds, etc BUT there's the point - Each album has a unique sound quality. The banjo tune Cpt Kennedy adds a little something extra that wasn't on CaT but had been heard earlier in For the Turnstiles as well as JT's part on Old Man. Keep ringin' those beautiful changes, Neil, you are a genius without parallel.

    r.... p....

    THE OLD HOMESTEAD! little wing and the groovy lazy old homestead are the best in this lp :)

    r.... p....

    And of course lost in space

    r.... p....

    Crazy how you omitted The Old Homestead and Lost In Space from your track mentions. For me Lost In Space is the best song on the album along with Little Wing. Little Wing is too short though however there is a longer electric live version which is just epic.

    r.... p....

    This has always been one of my favorites.😁

  47. A.... S....

    I Love this album so much... again, Neil is brilliant. Thank you for downloading it here. 

  48. p.... ....

    TY..love this..."the winter is the best time of them all.. " :)

  49. D.... B....

    this song is so badass......I wish someone had a real live video on here ............love is so so much............................

  50. J.... R....

    love this

  51. E.... K....

    Similar to JJ Cale's 'Magnolia', huh?

    E.... K....

    Quite a many NY songs built on C and F variations, esp. Cmaj7 and Fmaj7. He likes Am and F also. Doesn't matter in the end, it's great music.

  52. N.... N....

    A hidden gem by Neil, thank fuck i found it 

    N.... N....

    @I'm bored, i'm the chairman of the board you got a like just for your name

    N.... N....

    +I'm bored, i'm the chairman of the board Yes, this is a gem.

    N.... N....

    Dude I so know what you mean. By a stroke of luck I cam across this Jem. It hit me on immediate listen. How this song isn't more popular,..I don't know? But yeah Thank FUCK i found it

  53. J.... F....

    Elizabeth Mitchell does a great cover of this one.

  54. M.... H....

    Very easy to pick up on Guitar....  cmaj7 -->  dmaj7 ...  Really bold to make this the first track on the album..  a hidden gem, I agree

    M.... H....

    I'll have to give this song a try sometime.  I sing and play the guitar, myself :).

    M.... H....

    Those aren't the chords.

  55. S.... V....

    My appreciation to you, whoever you are. This song has followed me 4 decades.

  56. M.... D....

    just fed the birds ...winter coming

  57. M.... W....

    Hidden classic is right!

  58. h.... ....

    I love Neil Young, but I am sure he was listening to Magnolia by JJ Cale when he strung this one together, both are great.

  59. T.... ....

    sweet lil song

  60. J.... S....

    Could some artist perform a song called Little Wing better than Hendrix? You can listen to the answer here - Yes. Neil Young been listening to you for a lifetime - with tears of joy.

    J.... S....

    Hendrix wrote much better lyrics on his Little Wing song.

  61. J.... ....

    this is so good...

  62. 7.... ....

    GREAT STUFF THANKS FOR POSTING

  63. J.... ....

    best track on the album

  64. R.... S....

    Para mí, la mejor versión.

  65. j.... ....

    This was really a good tune. I thought it could have been better placed on Stars n Bars.

  66. y.... l....

    i love this song so much

  67. p.... ....

    I just re-discovered Neil Young and heard this song today... Neil Young, I've missed you so much. I'm sorry.
