Artist/Band: Joni Mitchell
Lyrics for Song: The Silky Veils Of Ardor
Lyrics for Album: Don Juans Reckless Daughter [1990]



I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through all these highs and lows

I heard there was no sickness and no toil or danger

Just mercy and plenty

Where peaceful waters flow

Where peaceful waters flow



Come all you fair and tender school girls

Be careful now when you court young men

They are like the stars on a summer morning

They sparkle up the night and they're gone again

Daybreak, gone again



If I'd only seen through the silky veils of Ardor

What a killing crime this love can be

I would have locked up my heart

In a golden sheath of armor and kept its crazy beating

Under strictest secrecy, high security



I wish I had the wings of Noah's pretty little white dove

So I could fly this raging river to reach the one I love

But I have no wings and the water is so wide

Will have to row a little harder

It's just in dreams we fly, in my dreams we fly


Album Lyrics: Don Juans Reckless Daughter [1990]
