Refuge Of The Roads (LP版) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]
Written by:Joni Mitchell[00:00:04]
I met a friend of spirit[00:00:21]
He drank and womanized[00:00:25]
And I sat before his sanity[00:00:29]
I was holding back from crying[00:00:32]
He saw my complications[00:00:38]
And he mirrored me back simplified[00:00:41]
And we laughed how our perfection would[00:00:46]
Always be denied[00:00:49]
Heart and humor[00:00:58]
And humility[00:00:59]
He said will lighten up your heavy load[00:01:01]
I left him then[00:01:06]
For the refuge of the roads[00:01:08]
I fell in with some drifters[00:01:25]
Cast upon a beachtown[00:01:28]
Win dixie cold cuts[00:01:32]
And highway hand me downs[00:01:35]
And I wound up fixing dinner[00:01:40]
For them and boston jim[00:01:44]
I well up with affection[00:01:48]
Thinking back down the roads to then[00:01:51]
The nets were overflowing[00:02:00]
In the gulf of Mexico[00:02:03]
They were overflowing[00:02:07]
In the refuge of the roads[00:02:10]
There was spring along the ditches[00:02:25]
There were good times in the cities[00:02:30]
Oh radiant happiness[00:02:33]
It was all so light and easy[00:02:37]
Till I started analyzing[00:02:40]
And I brought on my old ways[00:02:45]
A thunderhead of judgment was[00:02:49]
Gathering in my gaze[00:02:52]
And it made most people nervous[00:03:00]
They just didn't want to know[00:03:05]
What I was seeing[00:03:08]
In the refuge of the roads[00:03:10]
I pulled off into a forest[00:03:48]
Crickets clicking in the ferns[00:03:52]
Like a wheel of fortune[00:03:55]
I heard my fate turn turn turn[00:03:59]
And I went running down a white sand road[00:04:03]
I was running like a white assed deer[00:04:07]
Running to lose the blues[00:04:11]
To the innocence in here[00:04:14]
These are the clouds of michelangelo[00:04:22]
Muscular with gods and sungold[00:04:27]
Shine on your witness[00:04:30]
In the refuge of the roads[00:04:32]
In a highway service station[00:04:47]
Over the month of June[00:04:50]
Was a photograph of the Earth[00:04:54]
Taken coming back from the Moon[00:04:57]
And you couldn't see a city[00:05:01]
On that marbled bowling ball[00:05:06]
Or a forest or a highway or[00:05:09]
Me here least of all[00:05:13]
You couldn't see these cold water restrooms[00:05:20]
Or this baggage overload[00:05:24]
Westbound and rolling taking refuge[00:05:28]
In the roads[00:05:38]
