For The Roses - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]
I heard it in the wind last night[00:00:13]
It sounded like applause[00:00:17]
Did you get a round[00:00:19]
Resounding for you[00:00:20]
Way up here[00:00:22]
It seems like many dim years ago[00:00:24]
Since I heard that face to face[00:00:28]
Or seen you face to face[00:00:30]
Though tonight I can feel you here[00:00:33]
I get these notes[00:00:36]
On butterflies and lilac sprays[00:00:38]
From girls who just have to tell me[00:00:41]
They saw you somewhere[00:00:46]
In some office sits a poet[00:00:57]
And he trembles as he sings[00:00:59]
And he asks some guy[00:01:02]
To circulate his soul around[00:01:04]
On your mark red ribbon runner[00:01:08]
The caressing rev of motors[00:01:12]
Finely tuned like fancy women[00:01:14]
In thirties evening gowns[00:01:16]
Up the charts[00:01:20]
Off to the airport[00:01:21]
Your names in the news[00:01:23]
Everythings first class[00:01:24]
The lights go down[00:01:27]
And it's just you up there[00:01:28]
Getting them to feel like that[00:01:31]
Remember the days[00:01:40]
When you used to sit[00:01:41]
And make up your tunes for love[00:01:43]
And pour your simple sorrow[00:01:45]
To the soundhole and your knee[00:01:48]
And now you're seen[00:01:52]
On giant screens[00:01:53]
And at parties for the press[00:01:56]
And for people[00:01:58]
Who have slices of you[00:01:59]
From the company[00:02:00]
They toss around[00:02:03]
Your latest golden egg[00:02:04]
Speculation-well [00:02:06]
Who's to know[00:02:08]
If the next one in the nest[00:02:10]
Will glitter for them so[00:02:13]
I guess I seem ungrateful[00:02:24]
With my teeth sunk in the hand[00:02:26]
That brings me things[00:02:29]
I really can't give up just yet[00:02:31]
Now I sit up here[00:02:36]
The critic [00:02:37]
And they introduce some band[00:02:39]
But they seem so much confetti[00:02:41]
Looking at them on my tv set[00:02:43]
Oh the power and the glory[00:02:47]
Just when you're getting a taste[00:02:49]
For worship[00:02:51]
They start bringing out the hammers[00:02:52]
And the boards[00:02:57]
And the nails[00:02:58]
I heard it in the wind last night[00:03:07]
It sounded like applause[00:03:11]
Chilly now[00:03:13]
End of summer[00:03:14]
No more shiny hot nights[00:03:15]
It was just the arbutus rustling[00:03:18]
And the bumping of the logs[00:03:22]
And the moon[00:03:24]
Swept down black water[00:03:25]
Like an empty spotlight[00:03:27]
