joni mitchell – the hissing of summer lawns lyrics
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 th-rn
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
tube’s gone, darkness, darkness, darkness
no color no contrast
a diamond dog
carrying a cup and a cane
looking through a double gl-ss
looking at too much pride and too much shame
there’s a black fly buzzing
there’s a heat wave burning in her master’s 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 n-body sits in
still she stays with a love of some kind
it’s the lady’s choice
the hissing of summer lawns
