Joni Mitchell - Hunter Lyrics
I was alone and sicklyIt was a quarter of a moonlit nightI heard him cry through my window shadeAnd it filled me so full of frightBut I could not turn my back on himI put on the back porch lightCan I help you, said the good samaritanCan I help you, said the good samaritanI brought him bread and a blanketBut I told him, you cant come inYou can sleep outside in the tool shedThough a little rain comes inOh, I dont know you, youre a strangerI dont know where youve beenYou cant come in here, said the keeper of the innI dont want you in here, said the keeper of the inn.But I couldnt sleep for the thinkingYou know my night got so insaneI thought, maybe he was an angelAnd I left him out in the rainAnd what if he was the devilHed be coming after me againBut when I woke in the weary morning he was goneWhen I woke in the weary morning he was goneI thought maybe he was an angelAnd I left him out in the rainAnd what if he was the devilHed be coming after me againWhen I woke in the weary morning he was goneWhen I woke in the weary morning, lord, he was gone
