A Chair in The Sky — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)





Words by joni mitchell

Music by charles mingus



The rain slammed hard as bars

It caught me--by surprise

Mutts of the planet

And shook me down for alibis

Im waiting

For the keeper to release me

Debating this sentence

Biding my time

In memories

Of old friends of mine ...

In daydreams of birdland

I see my soul on fire

Burning up the bandstand

Next time

Ill be bigger!

Ill be better than ever!

Ill be happily attached

To my cold hard cash!

But now manhattan holds me

To a chair in the sky

With the bird in my ears

And boats in my eyes

Going by



There are things I wish Id done

Some friends Im gonna miss

Beautiful lovers

I never got the chance to kiss...

Daydreamin drugs the pain of living

Processions of missing

Lovers and friends

Fade in and they fade out again

In these daydreams of rebirth

I see myself in style

Raking in what Im worth

Next time

Ill be bigger!

Ill be better than ever!

Ill be resurrected royal!

Ill be rich as standard oil!

But now--manhattan holds me

To a chair in the sky

With the bird in my ears

And boats in my eyes

Going by
