Hejira (LP版) - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)[00:00:00]
Written by:Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]
I'm traveling in some vehicle[00:00:24]
I'm sitting in some cafe[00:00:29]
A defector from the petty wars[00:00:34]
That shell shock love away[00:00:38]
There's comfort in melancholy[00:00:46]
When there's no need to explain[00:00:52]
It's just as natural as the weather[00:00:56]
In this moody sky today[00:01:01]
In our possessive coupling[00:01:07]
So much could not be expressed[00:01:12]
So now I'm returning to myself[00:01:18]
These things that you and I suppressed[00:01:23]
I see something of myself in everyone[00:01:29]
Just at this moment of the world[00:01:35]
As snow gathers like bolts of lace[00:01:40]
Waltzing on a ballroom girl[00:01:47]
You know it never has been easy[00:02:05]
Whether you do or you do not resign[00:02:11]
Whether you travel the breadth of extremities[00:02:15]
Or stick to some straighter line[00:02:19]
Now here's a man and a woman sitting on a rock[00:02:27]
They're either going to thaw out or freeze[00:02:33]
Listen [00:02:38]
Strains of Benny Goodman[00:02:39]
Coming thru' the snow and the pinewood trees[00:02:42]
I'm porous with travel fever[00:02:51]
But you know I'm so glad to be on my own[00:02:55]
Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger[00:03:02]
Can set up trembling in my bones[00:03:07]
I know - no one's going to show me everything[00:03:12]
We all come and go unknown[00:03:19]
Each so deep and superficial[00:03:23]
Between the forceps and the stone[00:03:29]
Well I looked at the granite markers[00:03:49]
Those tribute to finality - to eternity[00:03:53]
And then I looked at myself here[00:03:59]
Chicken scratching for my immortality[00:04:02]
In the church they light the candles[00:04:10]
And the wax rolls down like tears[00:04:15]
There's the hope and the hopelessness[00:04:21]
I've witnessed thirty years[00:04:26]
We're only particles of change I know I know[00:04:31]
Orbiting around the sun[00:04:36]
But how can I have that point of view[00:04:41]
When I'm always bound and tied to someone[00:04:46]
White flags of winter chimneys[00:04:51]
Waving truce against the moon[00:04:57]
In the mirrors of a modern bank[00:05:03]
>From the window of a hotel room[00:05:09]
I'm traveling in some vehicle[00:05:28]
I'm sitting in some cafe[00:05:33]
A defector from the petty wars[00:05:37]
Until love sucks me back that way[00:05:41]
