Joni Mitchell – Hunter Lyrics  Share

I was alone and sickly
It was a quarter of a moonlit night
I heard him cry through my window shade
And it filled me so full of fright
But I could not turn my back on him
I put on the back porch light
"Can I help you," said the Good Samaritan
"Can I help you," said the Good Samaritan

I brought him bread and a blanket
But I told him, "You can^,t come in"
You can sleep outside in the tool shed
Though a little rain comes in
Oh, I don^,t know you, you^,re a stranger
I don^,t know where you^,ve been
"You can^,t come in here," said the keeper of the inn
"I don^,t want you in here," said the keeper of the inn.

But I couldn^,t sleep for the thinking
You know my night got so insane
I thought, maybe he was an angel
And I left him out in the rain
And what if he was the devil
He^,d be coming after me again
But when I woke in the weary morning he was gone
When I woke in the weary morning he was gone

I thought maybe he was an angel
And I left him out in the rain
And what if he was the devil
He^,d be coming after me again
When I woke in the weary morning he was gone
When I woke in the weary morning, Lord, he was gone
