Píseň: Songs To Aging Children Come

Interpret:
Joni Mitchell
Album:
Clouds
Through the windless wells of wonder
By the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the king and queen


Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one


People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies


Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one


Some come dark and strange like dying
Crows and ravens whistling
Lines of weeping, strings of crying
So much said in listening


Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one


Does the moon play only silver
When it strums the galaxy
Dying roses will they will their
Perfumed rhapsodies to me


Songs to aging children came
This is one
