[ti:The Hissing of Summer Lawns]
[ar:Joni Mitchell]
[al:The Hissing of Summer Lawns]
[00:13.40] He bought her a diamond for her throat
[00:16.75] He put her in a ranch house on a hill
[00:21.07] She could see the valley barbecues
[00:23.68] From her window sill
[00:26.94] See the blue pools in the squinting sun
[00:32.37] Hear the hissing of summer lawns
[00:40.26] He put up a barbed wire fence
[00:43.87] To keep out the unknown
[00:46.85] And on every metal thorn
[00:50.12] Just a little blood of his own
[00:54.24] She patrols that fence of his
[00:57.21] To a latin drum
[00:58.82] And the hissing of summer lawns
[01:01.83] Darkness
[01:03.22] Wonder makes it easy
[01:04.98] Darkness
[01:06.27] With a joyful mask
[01:08.39] Darkness
[01:09.59] Tube's gone darkness darkness darkness
[01:12.12] No color no contrast
[01:26.30] ~~~~~~
[01:42.41] A diamond dog
[01:44.12] Carrying a cup and a cane
[01:47.45] Looking through a double glass
[01:50.87] Looking at too much pride and too much shame
[01:54.53] There's a black fly buzzing
[01:56.29] There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice
[02:00.04] The hissing of summer lawns
[02:07.23] He gave her his darkness to regret
[02:11.30] And good reason to quit him
[02:14.16] He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
[02:18.03] That nobody sits in
[02:21.32] Still she stays with a love of some kind
[02:24.68] It's the lady's choice
[02:26.73] The hissing of summer lawns
