The Sire of Sorrow - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)[00:00:00]

Written by：Vince Mendoza[00:00:00]

Let me speak[00:00:00]

Let me spit out my bitterness[00:00:04]

Born of grief and nights without sleep[00:00:12]

And festering flesh[00:00:16]

Do you have eyes[00:00:25]

Can you see like mankind sees[00:00:29]

Why have you soured[00:00:37]

And curdled me[00:00:40]

Oh you tireless watcher[00:00:49]

What have I done to you[00:00:55]

That you make everything I dread[00:01:00]

And everything I fear[00:01:03]

Come true[00:01:07]

Once I was blessed[00:01:15]

I was a waited like the rain[00:01:20]

Like eyes for the blind[00:01:26]

Like feet for the lame[00:01:31]

Kings heard my words[00:01:41]

And they sought out my company[00:01:45]

But now the janitors of shadow land[00:01:51]

Flick their brooms at me[00:01:57]

Oh you tireless watcher[00:02:05]

What have I done to you[00:02:11]

That you make everything I dread[00:02:16]

And everything I fear come true[00:02:19]

Man is the sire of sorrow[00:02:24]

I've lost all taste for life[00:02:39]

I'm all complaints[00:02:42]

Tell me why do you starve the faithful[00:02:46]

Why do you crucify the saints[00:02:50]

And you let the wicked prosper[00:02:55]

You let their children[00:02:59]

Frisk like deer[00:03:01]

My loves are dead or dying[00:03:05]

Or they don't come near[00:03:07]

We don't despise your chastening[00:03:11]

God is correcting you[00:03:15]

Oh and look who comes[00:03:18]

To counsel my deep distress[00:03:22]

These pompous physicians oh[00:03:30]

What carelessness[00:03:34]

Oh all this ranting all this wind[00:03:35]

Filling our ears with trash[00:03:40]

Breath taking ignorance[00:03:42]

Adding insult to injury[00:03:47]

They come blaming and shaming[00:03:53]

Evil doer[00:03:57]

And shattering me[00:03:59]

This vain man wishes to seem wise[00:04:01]

Man born of asses[00:04:05]

Oh you tireless watcher[00:04:07]

What have I done to you[00:04:13]

That you make everything I dread[00:04:18]

And everything I fear[00:04:21]

Come true[00:04:24]

We don't despise your chastening[00:04:26]

Already on a bed of sighs and screams[00:04:41]

And still you torture me with visions[00:04:47]

You give me terrifying dreams[00:04:52]

Better I was carried[00:04:58]

From the womb[00:05:01]

Straight to the grave[00:05:03]

I see the diggers waiting[00:05:06]

They're leaning on their spades[00:05:10]

Man is the sire of sorrow[00:05:12]

Sure as the sparks ascend[00:05:16]

Oh where is hope[00:05:19]

While you're wondering[00:05:24]

What went wrong[00:05:26]

Why give me light[00:05:32]

And then this dark[00:05:34]

Without a dawn[00:05:36]

Evil is sweet in your mouth[00:05:38]

Hiding under your tongue[00:05:42]

Show your face[00:05:45]

What a long fall from grace[00:05:47]

Help me understand[00:05:50]

What is the reason[00:05:57]

For your heavy hand[00:06:00]

You're stumbling in shadows[00:06:03]

You have no name now[00:06:07]

Was it the sins of my youth[00:06:08]

What have I done to you[00:06:15]

That you make everything I dread[00:06:20]

And everything I fear[00:06:23]

Come true[00:06:25]

Oh your guilt must weigh so greatly[00:06:28]

Everything I dread and everything[00:06:34]

I fear[00:06:37]

Come true[00:06:40]

Man is the sire of sorrow[00:06:41]

Oh you make everything I dread[00:06:45]

And everything I fear[00:06:48]

Come true[00:06:52]
