Testo The Priest - Joni Mitchell
Testo della canzone The Priest (Joni Mitchell), tratta dall'album Ladies of the Canyon
The priest sat in the airport bar
He was wearing his father's tie
And his eyes looked into my eyes so far
Whenever the words ran dry
Behind the lash and the circles blue
He looked as only a priest can, through
And his eyes said, "Me" and his eyes said, "You"
And my eyes said, "Let us try"
He said, "You wouldn't like it here
No, it's no place you should share
The roof is ripped with hurricanes
And the room is always bare
I need the wind and I seek the cold"
He reached past the wine for my hand to hold
And he saw me young and he saw me old
And he saw me sitting there
Then he took his contradictions out
And he splashed them on my brow
So which words was I then to doubt
When choosing what to vow
Should I choose them all, should I make them mine?
The sermons, the hymns and the valentines
And he asked for truth and he asked for time
And he asked for only now
Now the trials are trumpet scored
Oh, will we pass the test?
Or just as one loves more and more
Will one love less and less?
Oh, come, let's run from this ring we're in
Where the Christians clap and the Germans grin
Saying, "Let them lose," crying, "Let them win"
Oh, make them both confess
