Stay In Touch

Joni Mitchell · Other Songs - Joni Mitchell

This is really something, people will be envious

But our roles aren't clear, so we mustn't rush

Still, we're burning brightly, clinging like fire to fuel

I'm grinnin' like a fool



Stay in touch, we should stay in touch

Oh, stay in touch, in touch



Part of this is permanent, part of this is passing

So we must be loyal and wary, not to give away too much

Till we build a firm foundation

And empty out old habits, old habits



Stay in touch, we should stay in touch

Oh, stay in touch, in touch



During times like these, the wise or influential

They can bear the imperfections, they can keep the money

No doubt about it, no doubt that's essential

No doubt that's always been a tricky one for me



So, we should just surrender, let fate and duty shape us

Let light hearts remake us, let the worries hush

In the middle of this continent, in the middle of our time on earth

We perceive one another



Stay in touch, we should stay in touch

Oh, stay in touch, in touch
