For The Roses (LP版) - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)[00:00:00]

Written by：Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]

I heard it in the wind last night[00:00:13]

It sounded like applause[00:00:16]

Did you get a round resounding for you[00:00:19]

Way up here[00:00:21]

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[00:00:32]

I get these notes[00:00:36]

On butterflies and lilac sprays[00:00:37]

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[00:01:03]

On your mark red ribbon runner[00:01:08]

The caressing rev of motors[00:01:11]

Finely tuned like fancy women[00:01:13]

In thirties evening gowns[00:01:16]

Up the charts[00:01:20]

Off to the airport[00:01:21]

Your name's in the news[00:01:22]

Everything's 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 when you used to sit[00:01:40]

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[00:01:51]

On giant screens[00:01:53]

And at parties for the press[00:01:55]

And for people who have slices of you[00:01:58]

From the company[00:02:00]

They toss around your latest golden egg[00:02:03]

Speculation well who's to know[00:02:06]

If the next one in the nest[00:02:09]

Will glitter for them so[00:02:12]

I guess I seem ungrateful[00:02:23]

With my teeth sunk in the hand[00:02:25]

That brings me things[00:02:29]

I really can't give up just yet[00:02:31]

Now I sit up here[00:02:35]

The critic[00:02:37]

And they introduce some band[00:02:38]

But they seem so much confetti[00:02:40]

Looking at them on my tv set[00:02:42]

Oh the power and the glory[00:02:46]

Just when you're getting a taste for worship[00:02:49]

They start bringing out the hammers[00:02:51]

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[00:03:10]

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 swept down black water[00:03:24]

Like an empty spotlight[00:03:27]
