JONI MITCHELL - Court & Spark lyrics

rate me

Love came to my door<br>With a sleeping roll<br>And a madman's soul<br>He thought for sure I'd seen him<br>Dancing up a river in the dark<br>Looking for a woman<br>To court and spark<br><br>He was playing on the sidewalk<br>For passing change<br>When something strange happened<br>Glory train passed through him<br>So he buried the coins he made<br>In people's park<br>And went looking for a woman<br>To court and spark<br><br>It seemed like he read my mind<br>He saw me mistrusting him<br>And still acting kind<br>He saw how I worried sometimes<br>I worry sometimes<br><br>All the guilty people, he said<br>They've all seen the stain-<br>On their daily bread<br>On their christian names<br>I cleared myself<br>I sacrificed my blues<br>And you could complete me<br>I'd complete you<br><br>His eyes were the color of the sand<br>And the sea<br>And the more he talked to me<br>The more he reached me<br>But I couldn't let go of l.a.<br>City of the fallen angels
