The Priest - Joni Mitchell[00:00:01]

The priest sat in the airport bar[00:00:18]

He was wearing his father's tie[00:00:21]

And his eyes looked into my eyes so far[00:00:27]

Whenever the words ran dry[00:00:30]

Behind the lash and the circles blue[00:00:37]

He looked as only a priest can thru[00:00:39]

And his eyes said me and his eyes said you[00:00:45]

And my eyes said let us try[00:00:52]

He said "You wouldn't like it here[00:01:07]

No it's no place you should share[00:01:10]

The roof is ripped with hurricanes[00:01:16]

And the room is always bare[00:01:18]

I need the wind and I seek the cold"[00:01:25]

He reached post the wine for my hand to hold[00:01:28]

And he saw me young and he saw me old[00:01:33]

And he saw me sitting there[00:01:41]

Then he took his contradictions out[00:01:56]

And he splashed them on my brow[00:01:59]

So which words was I then to doubt[00:02:05]

When choosing what to vow[00:02:08]

Should I choose them all-should I make them mine[00:02:13]

The sermons the hymns and the valentines[00:02:16]

And he asked for truth and he asked for time[00:02:22]

And he asked for only now[00:02:30]

Now the trials are trumpet scored[00:02:37]

Oh will we pass the test[00:02:40]

Or just as one loves more and more[00:02:45]

Will one love less and less[00:02:49]

Oh come let's run from this ring we're in[00:02:55]

Where the Christians clap and the Germans grin[00:02:57]

Saying let them lose crying let them win[00:03:06]

Oh make them both confess[00:03:14]
