Joni Mitchell
When I left we were together
I came back a stranger
And now I've got to live with that mistake
Everybody knows
That Joni Mitchell is a painter
But it doesn't mean that she can't find her way
Around the neck of a guitar
In the backseat of a car
Her chords accompany the patter of the rain
Why'd I go when I could've stayed?
Falling into pieces
Walking through the streets
As if the stop sign at the end displays my name
There's the gentle hum of cars
Passing around me
And I will for one to take me from this place
But I get back to the bar
And we sit two blocks apart
As I listen to some foreign artist play
Oh why'd I go when I could've stayed?
I'll go my way but I'll look for you
In every kindness that I see
When all our days are far behind us
You'll still be the thought I turn to in my sleep
I'm bereaved
Oh I'm bereaved
I came back a stranger
And now I've got to live with that mistake
Everybody knows
That Joni Mitchell is a painter
But it doesn't mean that she can't find her way
Around the neck of a guitar
In the backseat of a car
Her chords accompany the patter of the rain
Why'd I go when I could've stayed?
Falling into pieces
Walking through the streets
As if the stop sign at the end displays my name
There's the gentle hum of cars
Passing around me
And I will for one to take me from this place
But I get back to the bar
And we sit two blocks apart
As I listen to some foreign artist play
Oh why'd I go when I could've stayed?
I'll go my way but I'll look for you
In every kindness that I see
When all our days are far behind us
You'll still be the thought I turn to in my sleep
I'm bereaved
Oh I'm bereaved
