Song | Refuge of the Roads |
Artist | Joni Mitchell |
Album | 1995-11-06 The Fez, New York City, NY |
作词 : Mitchell | |
I met a friend of spirit | |
He drank and womanized | |
And i sat before his sanity | |
I was holding back from crying | |
He saw my complications | |
And he mirrored me back simplified | |
And we laughed how our perfection | |
Would always be denied | |
"heart and humor and humility" | |
He said "will lighten up your heavy load" | |
I left him for the refuge of the roads | |
I fell in with some drifters | |
Cast upon a beachtown | |
Winn dixie cold cuts and highway hand me downs | |
And i wound up fixing dinner | |
For them and boston jim | |
I well up with affection | |
Thinking back down the roads to then | |
The nets were overflowing | |
In the gulf of mexico | |
They were overflowing in the refuge of the roads | |
There was spring along the ditches | |
There were good times in the cities | |
Oh, radiant happiness | |
It was all so light and easy | |
Till i started analyzing | |
And i brought on my old ways | |
A thunderhead of judgment was | |
Gathering in my gaze | |
And it made most people nervous | |
They just didn't want to know | |
What i was seeing in the refuge of the roads | |
I pulled off into a forest | |
Crickets clicking in the ferns | |
Like a wheel of fortune | |
I heard my fate turn, turn turn | |
And i went running down a white sand road | |
I was running like a white-assed deer | |
Running to lose the blues | |
To the innocence in here | |
These are the clouds of michelangelo | |
Muscular with gods and sungold | |
Shine on your witness in the refuge of the roads | |
In a highway service station | |
Over the month of june | |
Was a photograph of the earth | |
Taken coming back from the moon | |
And you couldn't see a city | |
On that marbled bowling ball | |
Or a forest or a highway | |
Or me here least of all | |
You couldn't see these cold water restrooms | |
Or this baggage overload | |
Westbound and rolling taking refuge in the roads |
