Joni Mitchell - Hejira Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Im traveling in some vehicle
  • Im sitting in some cafe
  • A defector from the petty wars
  • That shell shock love away
  • Theres comfort in melancholy
  • When theres no need to explain
  • Its just as natural as the weather
  • In this moody sky today
  • In our possessive coupling
  • So much could not be expressed
  • So now Im returning to myself
  • These things that you and I suppressed
  • I see something of myself in everyone
  • Just at this moment of the world
  • As snow gathers like bolts of lace
  • Waltzing on a ballroom girl
  • You know it never has been easy
  • Whether you do or you do not resign
  • Whether you travel the breadth of extremities
  • Or stick to some straighter line
  • Now heres a man and a woman sitting on a rock
  • Theyre either going to thaw out or freeze
  • Listen...
  • Strains of benny goodman
  • Coming thru the snow and the pinewood trees
  • Im porous with travel fever
  • But you know Im so glad to be on my own
  • Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger
  • Can set up trembling in my bones
  • I know - no ones going to show me everything
  • We all come and go unknown
  • Each so deep and superficial
  • Between the forceps and the stone
  • Well I looked at the granite markers
  • Those tribute to finality - to eternity
  • And then I looked at myself here
  • Chicken scratching for my immortality
  • In the church they light the candles
  • And the wax rolls down like tears
  • Theres the hope and the hopelessness
  • Ive witnessed thirty years
  • Were only particles of change I know, I know
  • Orbiting around the sun
  • But how can I have that point of view
  • When Im always bound and tied to someone
  • White flags of winter chimneys
  • Waving truce against the moon
  • In the mirrors of a modern bank
  • >from the window of a hotel room
  • Im traveling in some vehicle
  • Im sitting in some cafe
  • A defector from the petty wars
  • Until love sucks me back that way
