Cactus Tree - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]
There's a man who's been out sailing[00:00:11]
In a decade full of dreams[00:00:13]
And he takes her to a schooner[00:00:16]
And he treats her like a queen[00:00:18]
Bearing beads from California[00:00:21]
With their amber stones and green[00:00:23]
He has called her from the harbor[00:00:31]
He has kissed her with his freedom[00:00:34]
He has heard her off to starboard[00:00:38]
In the breaking and the breathing of the water weeds[00:00:42]
While she was busy being free[00:00:50]
There's a man who's climbed a mountain[00:00:58]
And he's calling out her name[00:01:00]
And he hopes her heart can hear[00:01:03]
3000 miles he calls again[00:01:05]
He can think her there beside him[00:01:08]
He can miss her just the same[00:01:11]
He has missed her in the forest[00:01:18]
While he showed her all the flowers[00:01:21]
And the branches sang the chorus[00:01:25]
As he climbed the scaly towers of a forest tree[00:01:29]
While she was somewhere being free[00:01:37]
There's a man who sent a letter[00:01:45]
And he's waiting for her reply[00:01:48]
He has asked her of her travels[00:01:50]
Since the day they said goodbye[00:01:53]
He writes wish you were beside me[00:01:55]
We could make it if we try[00:01:58]
He has seen her at the office[00:02:05]
With her name on all his papers[00:02:09]
Through the sharing of the profits[00:02:13]
He will find it hard to shake her from these memories[00:02:17]
And she's so busy being free[00:02:25]
There's a lady in the city[00:02:32]
And she thinks she loves them all[00:02:35]
There's the one who's thinking of her[00:02:37]
There's the one who sometimes calls[00:02:40]
There's the one who writes her letters[00:02:42]
With his facts and figures scrawl[00:02:45]
She has brought them to her senses[00:02:52]
They have laughed inside her laughter[00:02:56]
Now she rallies her defenses[00:02:59]
For she fears that one will ask her for eternity[00:03:03]
And she's so busy being free[00:03:12]
There's a man who sends her medals[00:03:19]
He is bleeding from the war[00:03:22]
There's a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store[00:03:24]
There's a drummer and a dreamer[00:03:29]
And you know there may be more[00:03:32]
She will love them when she sees them[00:03:38]
They will lose her if they follow[00:03:42]
And she only means to please them[00:03:46]
And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree[00:03:50]
While she's so busy being free[00:03:58]
Like a cactus tree[00:04:06]
Being free[00:04:16]
