Sad Winds Blowin' Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

Gone, just as lonely as before
There′s his smoke against the ceiling
And his ashes on the floor
Gone golden genie in the blaze of a thousand sorries
Ashes and smoke are all that's staying
They′ll soon be going
With the sad winds blowin'

Dark, strike a match and light a candle
Candles always look so hopeful
But it's more than I can handle


Dark, strike a match and light a candle
Candles always look so hopeful
But it′s more than I can handle

Cry for a river from the sun
It′s just as easy
Flame on the candle's almost done
It′ll soon be going
With the sad winds blowin'

Times, just a senseless lot of ticking
She′s the master of our people

Ah, if that's good enough for you, I don′t know?
