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

Written by：Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]

I went to Staten island[00:00:20]

To buy myself a mandolin[00:00:22]

And I saw the long white dress of love[00:00:27]

On a storefront mannequin[00:00:31]

Big boat chuggin' back with a belly full of cars[00:00:37]

All for something lacy[00:00:41]

Some girl's going to see that dress[00:00:45]

And crave that day like crazy[00:00:48]

Little Indian kids on a bridge up in Canada[00:01:04]

They can balance and they can climb[00:01:07]

Like their fathers before them[00:01:13]

They'll walk the girders of the Manhattan skyline[00:01:16]

Shine your light on me miss liberty[00:01:22]

Because as soon as this ferry boat docks[00:01:27]

I'm headed to the church[00:01:31]

To play bingo[00:01:33]

Fleece me with the gamblers' flocks[00:01:35]

I can keep my cool at poker[00:01:50]

But I'm a fool when love's at stake[00:01:52]

Because I can't conceal emotion[00:01:59]

What I'm feeling's always written on my face[00:02:01]

There's a gypsy down on bleecker street[00:02:08]

I went in to see her as a kind of joke[00:02:13]

And she lit a candle for my love luck[00:02:16]

And eighteen bucks went up in smoke[00:02:19]

Sharon I left my man[00:02:35]

At a north Dakota junction[00:02:38]

And I came out to the big apple here[00:02:44]

To face the dream's malfunction[00:02:47]

Love's a repetitious danger[00:02:54]

You'd think I'd be accustomed to[00:02:58]

Well I do accept the changes[00:03:02]

At least better than I used to do[00:03:06]

A woman I knew just drowned herself[00:03:30]

The well was deep and muddy[00:03:33]

She was just shaking off futility[00:03:39]

Or punishing somebody[00:03:42]

My friends were calling up all day yesterday[00:03:48]

All emotions and abstractions[00:03:53]

It seems we all live so close to that line[00:03:56]

And so far from satisfaction[00:04:00]

Dora says have children[00:04:16]

Mama and Betsy say find yourself a charity[00:04:18]

Help the needy and the crippled or put some time into ecology[00:04:25]

Well there's a wide wide world of noble causes[00:04:34]

And lovely landscapes to discover[00:04:39]

But all I really want right now[00:04:43]

Is find another lover[00:04:45]

When we were kids in maidstone Sharon[00:05:01]

I went to every wedding in that little town[00:05:04]

To see the tears and the kisses[00:05:10]

And the pretty lady in the white lace wedding gown[00:05:13]

And walking home on the railroad tracks[00:05:20]

Or swinging on the playground swing[00:05:23]

Love stimulated my illusions[00:05:27]

More than anything[00:05:32]

And when I went skating after golden Reggie[00:05:38]

You know it was white lace I was chasing[00:05:41]

Chasing dreams[00:05:46]

Mama's nylons underneath my cowgirl jeans[00:05:49]

He showed me first you get the kisses[00:05:56]

And then you get the tears[00:06:01]

But the ceremony of the bells and lace[00:06:05]

Still veils this reckless fool here[00:06:08]

Now there are 29 skaters on Holman rink[00:06:24]

Circling in singles and in pairs[00:06:27]

In this vigorous anonymity[00:06:33]

A blank face at the window stares and stares and stares and stares[00:06:35]

And the power of reason[00:06:43]

And the flowers of deep feeling[00:06:46]

Seem to serve me[00:06:50]

Only to deceive me[00:06:52]

Sharon you've got a husband[00:07:10]

And a family and a farm[00:07:12]

I've got the apple of temptation[00:07:18]

And a diamond snake around my arm[00:07:21]

But you still have your music[00:07:27]

And I've still got my eyes on the land and the sky[00:07:31]

You sing for your friends and your family[00:07:35]

I'll walk green pastures by and by[00:07:38]
