Joni Mitchell - The Last Time I Saw Richard текст песни

Текст
The last time I saw richard was detroit in 68,

And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday

Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe

You laugh, he said you think youre immune, go look at your eyes

Theyre full of moon

You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you

All those pretty lies, pretty lies

When you gonna realise theyre only pretty lies

Only pretty lies, just pretty lies

He put a quarter in the wurlitzer, and he pushed

Three buttons and the thing began to whirr

And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie

And she said "drink up now its gettin on time to close."

"richard, you havent really changed," I said

Its just that now youre romanticizing some pain thats in your head

You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs

You punched are dreaming

Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet

When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?

Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet

Richard got married to a figure skater

And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator

And he drinks at home now most nights with the tv on

And all the house lights left up bright

Im gonna blow this damn candle out

I dont want nobody comin over to my table

I got nothing to talk to anybody about

All good dreamers pass this way some day

Hidin behind bottles in dark cafes

Dark cafes

Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings

And fly away

Only a phase, these dark cafe days
