Joni Mitchell – A Chair In The Sky Lyrics  Share

From Joni Mitchell's album: Mingus

The rain slammed hard as bars
It caught me-by surprise
Mutts of the planet
And shook me down for alibis
I^,m waiting
For the keeper to release me
Debating this sentence
Biding my time
In memories
Of old friends of mine ...
In daydreams of Birdland
I see my soul on fire
Burning up the bandstand
Next time
I^,ll be bigger!
I^,ll be better than ever!
I^,ll be happily attached
To my cold hard cash!
But now Manhattan holds me
To a chair in the sky
With the bird in my ears
And boats in my eyes
Going by

[ A Chair In The Sky lyrics from

There are things I wish I^,d done
Some friends I^,m gonna miss
Beautiful lovers
I never got the chance to kiss...
Daydreamin^, drugs the pain of living
Processions of missing
Lovers and friends
Fade in and they fade out again
In these daydreams of rebirth
I see myself in style
Raking in what I^,m worth
Next time
I^,ll be bigger!
I^,ll be better than ever!
I^,ll be resurrected royal!
I^,ll be rich as standard oil!
But now-Manhattan holds me
To a chair in the sky
With the bird in my ears
And boats in my eyes
Going by
