Joni Mitchell - The Last Time I Saw Richard |
| [00:59.89] |
The last time i saw richard was detroit in \'68, |
| [01:03.61] |
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday |
| [01:08.55] |
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe |
| [01:16.92] |
You laugh, he said you think you\'re immune, go look at your eyes |
| [01:22.06] |
They\'re full of moon |
| [01:23.88] |
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you |
| [01:28.23] |
All those pretty lies, pretty lies |
| [01:35.22] |
When you gonna realise they\'re only pretty lies |
| [01:40.64] |
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies |
| [01:49.70] |
|
| [01:57.35] |
He put a quarter in the wurlitzer, and he pushed |
| [02:01.20] |
Three buttons and the thing began to whirr |
| [02:04.35] |
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie |
| [02:08.70] |
And she said \"drink up now it\'s gettin\' on time to close.\" |
| [02:13.71] |
\"richard, you haven\'t really changed,\" i said |
| [02:16.66] |
It\'s just that now you\'re romanticizing some pain that\'s in your head |
| [02:20.86] |
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs |
| [02:24.14] |
You punched are dreaming |
| [02:26.77] |
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet |
| [02:32.07] |
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet? |
| [02:37.08] |
Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet |
| [02:49.36] |
|
| [02:54.25] |
Richard got married to a figure skater |
| [02:57.00] |
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator |
| [03:01.28] |
And he drinks at home now most nights with the tv on |
| [03:04.91] |
And all the house lights left up bright |
| [03:10.68] |
I\'m gonna blow this damn candle out |
| [03:13.52] |
I don\'t want nobody comin\' over to my table |
| [03:16.44] |
I got nothing to talk to anybody about |
| [03:18.87] |
All good dreamers pass this way some day |
| [03:22.97] |
Hidin\' behind bottles in dark cafes |
| [03:25.88] |
Dark cafes |
| [03:28.62] |
Only a dark cocoon before i get my gorgeous wings |
| [03:34.51] |
And fly away |
| [03:36.10] |
Only a phase, these dark cafe days |
