lirik lagu joni mitchell - chinese café/unchained melody
[verse 1]
caught in the middle
carol, we’re middle cl-ss
we’re middle aged
we were wild in the old days
birth of rock n’ roll days
now your kids are coming up straight
my child’s a stranger, i bore her
but i could not raise her
nothing lasts for long
nothing lasts for long
nothing lasts for long
[chorus]
down at the chinese café
we’d be dreaming on our dimes
we’d be playing, “oh my love, my darling”
one more time
[verse 2]
uranium money
is booming in the old home town now
it’s putting up sleek concrete
tearing the old landmarks down now
paving over brave little parks
ripping off indian land again
how long, how long
short-sighted business man
ah nothing lasts for long
nothing lasts for long
nothing lasts for long
[chorus]
down at the chinese café
we’d be dreaming on our dimes
we’d be playing, “you give your love so sweetly”
one more time
[verse 3]
christmas is sparkling
out on carol’s lawn
this girl of my childhood games
with kids nearly grown and gone
grown so fast
like the turn of a page
we look like our mothers did now
when we were those kids’ age
nothing lasts for long
nothing lasts for long
nothing lasts for long
[chorus]
down at the chinese café
we’d be dreaming on our dimes
we’d be playing, “oh my love, my darling
i’ve hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
i need your love
i need your love
god speed your love to me”
[outro]
(time goes – where does the time go
i wonder where the time goes)
