[ti:Roses Blue (LP Version)]
[ar:Joni Mitchell]
[al:Clouds]
[00:14.10]I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles
[00:32.42]I think of rain, I think of roses blue
[00:37.66]I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble
[00:42.30]To see the place she's lately gotten to
[00:46.05]Gotten to, gotten to
[00:52.60]
[00:53.30]She's gotten to mysterious devotions
[00:58.05]She's gotten to the zodiac and Zen
[01:02.84]She's gotten into tarot cards and potions
[01:07.89]She's laying her religion on her friends
[01:12.09]On her friends, on her friends
[01:18.18]
[01:19.18]Friends who come to ask her for their future
[01:23.57]Friends who come to find they can't be friends
[01:28.95]Because of signs and seasons that don't suit her
[01:34.09]She'll prophesy your death, she won't say when
[01:38.13]Won't say when, won't say when
[01:43.23]
[01:44.93]When all the black cards come you cannot barter
[01:49.22]No, when all your stars are stacked you cannot win
[01:53.71]She'll shake her head and treat you like a martyr
[01:59.95]It is her blackest spell she puts you in
[02:03.60]Puts you in, puts you in
[02:09.85]
[02:10.79]In sorrow she can lure you where she wants you
[02:15.58]Inside your own self-pity there you swim
[02:20.88]In sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you
[02:26.61]And only with your laughter can you win
[02:30.36]Can you win, can you win
[02:37.46]
[02:38.35]You win the lasting laurels with your laughter
[02:42.64]It reaches like an arm before you sink
[02:47.79]To win the solitary truth you're after
[02:53.08]You dare not ask the priestess how to think
[02:56.62]How to think, how to think
[03:02.65]
[03:03.95]I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles
[03:10.48]I think of rain, I think of roses blue
[03:15.87]I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble
[03:20.66]To see the place she's lately gotten to
[03:24.75]Gotten to, gotten to
