Underneath The Streetlight Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

Yes I do, I love you
I swear on the stars above, I do
I swear on the street light on the corner
Shoving back the shadows

One shadow cursing
Another shadow laughing
Underneath the street light
I don′t know where they're coming from
I just see ′em passing
Underneath the street light

Yes I do, I love you
I swear on the buildings above I do
I swear on a billion yellow and t.v. blue windows

Gay boys with their pants so tight
Out in the neon light
Underneath the street light
Ma- ma- madman-madman
Kicking over garbage cans
Underneath the street light


Yes I do,i love you
I swear on the blinkin' planes above, I do
I swear on the truck at the stop light
With his air brakes moaning

All night the trucks roll
Up to the tunnel-toll
Underneath the street light
They come rollin', rollin′
Rollin′ for a living
Underneath the street light

Yes I do, I love you
I swear on the disco sparkle like I do
I swear on the be-bop boys
Chasing the black bird

Rock 'n′ roll broadcast
Movin' up now full blast
Underneath the street light
They come dancin′, dancin'
Really rock ′n rollin'
Underneath the street light


Yes I do, I love you
I really love you
Yes I do, yes I do
I love you
