Jeremy (incomplete) Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

Jeremy sits in the sun and he stares
At the stripes on the floor
From the bars on the door
Thinking of rabbits he kept as a child
In a chicken wire cage, he remembers the rage


Of his father the night he made his one call
The relative stranger who left him to fall
To the mercy of judges with no shield at all
Now he sits and he stares at the punishing wall

Jeremy picks up the crayon he saved
And he writes in the dark and he thinks of the park
And the flower he gave to the girl with the bells
He remembers her smile, it was gone at the trial

Hear the footsteps of night guards patrolling the halls
There are coughers and talkers who don′t sleep at all
'Midst the curse words and worse words
That someone had scrawled
He writes her a poem on the punishing wall
