Joni Mitchell - Come In From The Cold Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Back in 1957
  • We had to dance a foot apart
  • And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines
  • Holding their rulers without a heart
  • And so with just a touch of our fingers
  • I could make our circuitry explode
  • All we ever wanted
  • Was just to come in from the cold
  • Come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • (we were so young)
  • Oh come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • We really thought we had a purpose
  • We were so anxious to achieve
  • We had hope
  • The world held promise
  • For a slave to liberty
  • Freely I slaved away for something better
  • And I was bought and sold
  • And all I ever wanted
  • Was just to come in from the cold
  • Come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • (we were so sure)
  • Oh come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • I feel your leg under the table
  • Leaning into mine
  • I feel renewed
  • I feel disabled
  • By these bonfires in my spine
  • I dont know who the arsonist was
  • Which incendiary soul
  • But all I ever wanted
  • Was just to come in from the cold
  • Come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • (you were so warm)
  • Oh come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • I am not some stone commission
  • Like a statue in a park
  • I am flesh and blood and vision
  • I am howling in the dark
  • Long blue shadows of the jackals
  • Are falling on a pay phone by the road
  • Oh all they ever wanted
  • Was just to come in from the cold
  • Come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • (I was so low)
  • Oh come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • Is this just vulgar electricity
  • Is this the edifying fire
  • (it was so pure)
  • Does your smiles covert complicity
  • Debase as it admires
  • (just a flu with a temperature)
  • Are you just checking out your mojo
  • (oohoo)
  • Or am I just fighting off growing old
  • (just a high fever)
  • All I ever wanted
  • Was just to come in from the cold
  • Come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • (it was so pure)
  • Oh come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • I know we never will be perfect
  • Never entirely clear
  • (when the moon shines)
  • We get hurt and we just panic
  • And we strike out
  • Out of fear
  • (you were only being kind)
  • I fear the sentence of this solitude
  • 200 years on hold
  • (for my loving crime)
  • Oh and all we ever wanted
  • Was just to come in from the cold
  • Come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • (when the moon shines)
  • Oh come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • When I thought life had some purpose
  • Then I thought I had some choice
  • (I was running blind)
  • And I made some value judgments
  • In a self-important voice
  • (I was outa line)
  • But then absurdity came over me
  • And I longed to lose control
  • (into no mind)
  • Oh all I ever wanted
  • Was just to come in from the cold
  • Come in
  • Come in from the cold
  • (you were so kind)
  • Please come in
  • (so kind)
  • Come in from the cold
  • Come in come in
  • Come in from the cold, etc.
