The Crazy Cries Of Love
Joni Mitchell · Other Songs - Joni Mitchell
Everyone was at the wing ding
They weren't the wing ding type
So they went up on the train bridge
Where the weather was howling
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear the crazy cries of love
They were laughing, they were dancing in the rain
They knew their love was a strong one
When they heard the far off whistle of a train
They were hoping it was going to be a long one
'Cuz oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear the crazy cries of love
In the back booth of an all night cafe
Two dripping raincoats are hanging
Outside in the weather
The shade on the streetlight is clanging
And they smile ear to ear and eye to eye
Ice cream is melting on a piece of pie
Oh, my my no one else can hear
The cries of love
Every kiss was sweet and strong
Every touch was totally tandem
As the train come a rumbling along
They sang a lover's song of wild abandon
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear the crazy cries of love
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear the crazy cries of love
