[ti:Hejira (Live)] [ar:A Bird That Whistles] [al:Songs Of Joni Mitchell] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Hejira (Live) - A Bird That Whistles [00:27.71]I'm traveling in some vehicle [00:33.37]I'm sitting in some cafe [00:37.80]A defector from these petty wars [00:42.91]That shell shock love away [00:51.30]There's comfort in melancholy [00:56.88]When there's no need to explain [01:01.12]It's just as natural as the weather [01:06.91]In this moody sky today [01:12.43]In our possessive coupling [01:17.71]So much cannot be expressed [01:24.13]So now I'm returning to myself [01:29.43]These things that you and I suppressed [01:35.29]I see something of myself in everyone [01:41.42]Right at this moment of the world [01:46.88]As snow gathers like bolts of lace [01:53.67]Waltzing on a bridal girl [02:12.92]You know it never has been easy [02:18.77]Whether you do or you do not resign [02:24.47]Whether you travel the breadth of extremities [02:28.83]Or you stick to some straighter line [02:36.44]Look here's a man and a woman sitting on a rock [02:42.69]They're either going to thaw out or freeze [02:47.65]Listen, sounds like Benny Goodman [02:51.88]Floating through the snowy trees [03:01.14]I'm porous with travel fever [03:06.65]But I'm so glad to be on my own [03:12.89]Still the slightest touch of a stranger [03:18.87]Sets up a trembling in my bones [03:24.01]But I know, no one's going to show me everything [03:30.37]We come and go unknown [03:36.15]Each so deep and so superficial [03:42.25]Between the forceps and the stone [04:02.53]I looked at the granite markers [04:08.66]Those tribute to finality to eternity [04:11.13] [04:14.32]And I looked at myself here [04:17.72]Chicken scratching for a peice of immortality [04:26.10]In the church they light the candles [04:32.06]And the wax rolls down like tears [04:37.54]There is the hope and the hopelessness [04:42.35]I've witnessed all these years [04:47.55]We're only particles of change I know [04:53.39]We're just orbiting around the sun [04:58.79]But how can I have that point of view [05:05.02]When I'm bound and tied to someone? [05:10.71]White flags of winter chimneys [05:16.39]Waving truce against the moon [05:22.62]In the mirrors of a modern bank [05:28.16]From the window of my hotel room [05:32.65] [05:48.83]I'm traveling in some vehicle [05:54.61]I'm sitting in some cafe [05:59.62]A defector from the petty wars [06:03.90]Until love sucks me back that way
