Joni Mitchell - Jericho текст песни

Ill try to keep myself open up to you

Thats a promise that I made to love

When it was new

"just like jericho" I said

"let these wall come tumbling down"

I said it like I finally found the way

To keep the good feelings alive

I said it like it was something to strive for.

Ill try to keep myself open up to you

And approve your self expression

I need that, too

I need your confidence, baby

And the gift of your extra time

In turn Ill give you mine

Sweet darling, its a rich exchange

It seems to me

Its a warm arrangement!

Anyone will tell you

Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend

Maybe theyll short sell you

Or maybe its you

Judas, in the end

When you just can no longer pretend

That youre getting what you need

Or youre giving out anything for them to grow and feed on.

Ill try to keep myself open up to you

It gets easier and easier to do

Just like jericho

Let these walls come tumbling down now

Let them fall right on the ground

Let all these dogs go running free

The wild and the gentle dogs

Kenneled in me.
