Shadows and Light (LP版)

Shadows And Light - Joni Mitchell (瓊尼·米契兒)

Written by：Joni Mitchell

Every picture has it's shadows

And it has some source of light

Blindness

Blindness and sight

The perils of benefactors

The blessings of parasites

Blindness

Blindness and sight

Threatened by all things

Devil of cruelty

Drawn to all things

Devil of delight

Mythical devil

Of the ever present laws

Governing

Blindness

Blindness and sight

Suntans in reservation dining rooms

Pale miners in their lantern rays

Night night and day

Hostage smiles on presidents

Freedom scribbled in the subway

It's like night

Night and day

Threatened by all things

God of cruelty

Drawn to all things

God of delight

Mythical God

Of the everlasting laws

Governing

Day

Day and night

Critics of all expression

Judges in black and white

Saying it's wrong

Saying it's right

Compelled by prescribed standards

Or some ideals we fight

For wrong

Wrong and right

Threatened by all things

Man of cruelty

Mark of Cain

Drawn to all things

Man of delight

Born again born again

Man of the laws

The ever broken laws

Governing

Wrong

Wrong and right

Governing

Wrong

Wrong and right

Wrong and right
