The Hissing of Summer Lawns — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)





He bought her a diamond for her throat

He put her in a ranch house on a hill

She could see the valley barbecues

From her window sill

See the blue pools in the squinting sun

Hear the hissing of summer lawns



He put up a barbed wire fence

To keep out the unknown

And on every metal thorn

Just a little blood of his own

She patrols that fence of his

To a latin drum

And the hissing of summer lawns

Darkness

Wonder makes it easy

Darkness

With a joyful mask

Darkness

Tubes gone, darkness, darkness, darkness

No color no contrast



A diamond dog

Carrying a cup and a cane

Looking through a double glass

Looking at too much pride and too much shame

Theres a black fly buzzing

Theres a heat wave burning in her masters voice

Hissing summer lawns



He gave her his darkness to regret

And good reason to quit him

He gave her a roomful of chippendale

That nobody sits in

Still she stays with a love of some kind

Its the ladys choice

The hissing of summer lawns
