That Song About The Midway (Live)

That Song About The Midway (Live) - Joni Mitchell (瓊尼·米契兒)

I met you on a midway at a fair last year

And you stood out like a ruby

In a black man's ear

You were playing on the horses

You were playing on the guitar strings

You were playing like a devil wearing wings

Wearing wings

You looked so grand wearing wings

Wearing wings

Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing

Can you fly

I heard you can Can you fly

Just fly

Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky

I followed with the sideshows to another town

And I found you in a trailer

On the camping grounds

You were betting on some lover

You were shaking up the dice

And I thought I saw you cheating

Once or twice once or twice

I heard your bid once or twice

Once or twice

Were you wondering was the gamble

Worth the price

Pack it in

I heard you did

Pack it in

Pack it in

Was it hard to fold a hand

That you knew could win

So lately you've been hiding

It was somewhere in the news

And I'm still at these races

With my ticket stubs and my blues

And a voice calls out the numbers

And it sometimes mentions mine

And I feel like I've been working

Overtime overtime

I've lost my fire overtime

Overtime

Always playin' another hand for another dime

Slowin' down I'm gettin' tired

So I'm slowin' down

And I envy you the valley that you've found

'Cause I'm midway down the midway

And I'm slowin' down
