Song | The Silky Veils Of Ardor (LP Version) |
Artist | Joni Mitchell |
Album | Don Juan's Reckless Daughter |
[00:08.98] | I am a poor wayfaring stranger |
[00:15.97] | |
[00:18.77] | Traveling through all these highs and lows |
[00:28.28] | |
[00:29.34] | I heard there was no sickness |
[00:33.29] | |
[00:33.87] | And no toil or danger |
[00:38.79] | |
[00:39.37] | Just mercy and plenty |
[00:44.56] | Where peaceful waters flow |
[00:47.23] | Where peaceful waters flow |
[00:54.60] | |
[01:06.18] | Come all you fair and tender school girls |
[01:15.14] | |
[01:16.78] | Be careful now when you court young men |
[01:26.69] | |
[01:27.59] | They are like the stars |
[01:32.06] | On a summer morning |
[01:37.23] | |
[01:38.02] | They sparkle up the night |
[01:42.27] | |
[01:43.50] | And they’re gone again |
[01:45.18] | |
[01:45.72] | Daybreak gone again |
[01:55.99] | |
[02:04.74] | If I’d only seen through the silky veils of ardor |
[02:16.33] | |
[02:17.18] | What a killing crime this love can be |
[02:24.37] | |
[02:25.59] | I would have locked up my heart |
[02:29.76] | |
[02:30.71] | In a golden sheath of armor |
[02:35.78] | And kept its crazy beating |
[02:40.54] | |
[02:41.44] | Under strictest secrecy |
[02:43.77] | |
[02:44.36] | High security |
[02:53.81] | |
[03:03.30] | I wish I had the wings |
[03:06.91] | |
[03:07.76] | Of Noah’s pretty little white dove |
[03:13.41] | So I could fly this raging river |
[03:19.17] | |
[03:20.83] | To reach the one I love |
[03:24.34] | |
[03:24.86] | But I have no wings |
[03:28.63] | |
[03:29.22] | And the water is so wide |
[03:33.58] | |
[03:35.29] | We’ll have to row a little harder |
[03:37.71] | |
[03:40.53] | It’s just in dreams we fly |
[03:42.45] | |
[03:43.19] | In my dreams we fly |
[00:08.98] | I am a poor wayfaring stranger |
[00:15.97] | |
[00:18.77] | Traveling through all these highs and lows |

[00:39.37] | Just mercy and plenty |
