joni mitchell - shadows and light (2022 remaster) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
every picture has its shadows and it has some source of light
blindness, blindness and sight
the perils of benefactors, the blessings of parasites
blindness, blindness and sight

[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
suntans in reservation dining rooms, pale miners in their lantern rays
night, night and day
hostage smiles on presidents, freedom scribbled in thе subway
it’s like night, night and day

[chorus]
threatenеd by all things, god of cruelty
drawn to all things, god of delight
mythical god of the everlasting laws
governing day, day and night

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
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

[outro]
governing wrong, wrong and right
wrong and right
