Artist/Band: Joni Mitchell
Lyrics for Song: Sweet Bird
Lyrics for Album: The Hissing Of Summer Lawns [1990]



Out on some borderline

Some mark of in between

I lay down golden in time

And woke up vanishing



Sweet bird you are

Briefer than a falling star

All these vain promises on beauty jars of

Somewhere with your wings on time

You must be laughing



Behind our eyes

Calendars of our lives, circled with compromise

Sweet bird of time and change

You must be laughing

Up on your feathers laughing



Golden in time

Cities under the sand

Power, ideals and beauty

Fading in everyone's hands



Give me some time

I feel like I'm losing mine

Out here on this horizon line



With the earth spinning

And the sky forever rushing

No one knows

They can never get that close

Guesses at most



Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

...
