Joni Mitchell - Chinese Cafe/unchained Melody Lyrics
Caught in the middleCarol, were middle classWere middle agedWe were wild in the old daysBirth of rock n roll daysNow your kids are coming up straightAnd my childs a strangerI bore herBut, I could not raise herNothing lasts for long--Nothing lasts for long--Nothing lasts for long--Down at the chinese cafeWed be dreaming on our dimesWed be playing--Oh my love, my darlingOne more timeUranium moneyIs booming in the old home town nowIts putting up sleek concreteTearing the old landmarks down nowPaving over brave little parksRipping off indian land againHow long--how longShort sighted business menAh, nothing lasts for long--Nothing lasts for long--Nothing lasts for long--Down at the chinese cafeWed be dreaming on our dimesWed be playing--You give your love, so sweetlyOne more timeChristmas is sparklingOut on carols lawnThis girl of my childhood gamesWith kids nearly grown and goneGrown so fastLike the turn of a pageWe look like our mothers did nowWhen we were those kids ageNothing lasts for long--Nothing lasts for long--Nothing lasts for long--Down at the chinese cafeWed be dreaming on our dimesWed be playing--Oh my love, my darlingIve hungered for your touchA long lonely timeAnd time goes by so slowlyAnd time can do so muchAre you still mine?I need your loveI need your loveGod speed your love to me.(time goes--where does the time go--I wonder where the time goes. . .)
