Joni Mitchell lyrics : "Sweet Bird"

Out on some borderline
Some mark off inbetween
I lay down golden-in time

And woke up vanishing

Sweet bird you are

Briefer than a falling star
All these vain promises on beauty jars
Somewhere with your wings on time

You must be laughing
Behind our eyes
Calendars of our lives

Circled with compromise
Sweet bird of time and change
You must be laughing

Up on your feathers laughing

Golden in time

Cities under the sand
Power, ideals and beauty
Fading in everyone's hand


Give me some time
I feel like I'm losing mine

Out here on this horizon line
With the earth spinning
And the sky forever rushing

No one knows
They can never get that close
Guesses at most

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
