Songs to Aging Children Come Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

Through the windless wells of wonder
By the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the King and Queen

Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

People hurry by so quickly
Don′t they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies?


Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

Some come dark and strange like dying
Crows and ravens whistling
Lines of weeping, strings of crying
So much said in listening

Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

Does the moon play only silver
When it strums the galaxy?
Dying roses, will they will their
Perfumed rhapsodies to me?


Songs to aging children come
This is one
