the hissing of summer lawns (2022 remaster) - joni mitchell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
he bought her a diamond for her throat
he put her in a ranch house on a hill
she could see the valley barbecues
from her windowsill
see the blue pools in the squinting sun
hear the hissing of summer lawns

[verse 2]
he put up a barbed wire fence
to keep out the unknown
and on every metal th*rn
just a little blood of his own
she patrols that fence of his to a latin drum
and the hissing of summer lawns
[chorus]
(darkness) wonder makes it easy
(darkness) with a joyful mask
(darkness) tube’s gone, darkness, darkness, darkness
no color, no contrast

[verse 3]
diamond dog carrying a cup and a cane
looking through a double glass
looking at too much pride and too much shame
there’s a black fly buzzing
there’s a heat wave burning in her master’s voice
hissing summer lawns

[verse 4]
he gave her his darkness to regret
and good reason to quit him
he gave her a roomful of chippendale
that n0body sits in
still, she stays with a love of some kind
it’s the lady’s choice
the hissing of summer lawns

[outro]
(darkness)
(darkness)
(darkness)
(darkness)
(darkness)
(darkness)
(darkness)
(darkness)
(darkness)
(darkness)
