lirik lagu joni mitchell - for the roses (2022 remaster)
[verse 1]
i heard it in the wind last night, it sounded like applause
did you get a round resounding for you way up here?
it seems like many dim years ago since i heard that face to face
or seen you face to face, though tonight i can feel you here
[chorus 1]
i get these notes
on b~tterflies and lilac sprays
from girls who just have to tell me
they saw you somewhere
[verse 2]
in some office sits a poet and he trembles as he sings
and he asks some guy to circulate his soul around
on your mark rеd ribbon runner, the caressing rеv of motors
finely tuned like fancy women in thirties evening gowns
[chorus 2]
up the charts, off to the airport
your name’s in the news, everything’s first class
the lights go down and it’s just you up there
getting them to feel like that
[verse 3]
remember the days when you used to sit and make up your tunes for love and
pour your simple sorrow to the sound hole and your knee
and now you’re seen on giant screens and at parties for the press
and for people who have slices of you from the company
[chorus 3]
they toss around your latest golden egg
speculation, well, who’s to know
if the next one in the nest
will glitter for them so?
[verse 4]
i guess i seem ungrateful with my t~~th sunk in the hand
that brings me things i really can’t give up just yet
now i sit up here the critic and they introduce some band
but they seem so much confetti looking at ’em on my tv set
[chorus 4]
oh, the power and the glory
just when you’re getting a taste for worship
they start bringing out the hammers
and the boards and the nails
[verse 5]
i heard it in the wind last night, it sounded like applause
chilly now, end of summer, no more shiny hot nights
it was just the arbutus rustling and the bumping of the logs
and the moon swept down black water like an empty spotlight
