מילים לשיר Come In From The Cold – Joni Mitchell

Back in 1957
We had to dance a foot apart
And they hawkHolding their rulers without a heart
And so with just a touch of our fingers
I could make our circuitry explode
All we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold Come in
Come in from the cold
(we were so young)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold We really thought we had a purpose
We were so anxious to achieve
We had hope
The world held promise
For a slave to liberty
Freely I slaved away for something better
And all I ever wanted
And I was bought and sold
Was just to come in from the cold Come in
Come in from the cold
(we were so sure)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold Leaning into mine
I feel your leg under the table
I feel renewed
I feel disabled
By these bonfires in my spine
I don't know who the arsonist was
Which incendiary soul
But all I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold Come in
Come in from the cold
(you were so warm)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold Like a statue in a park
I am not some stone commission
I am flesh and blood and vision
I am howling in the dark
Long blue shadows of the jackals
Are falling on a pay phone by the road
Oh all they ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold Come in
Come in from the cold
(I was so low)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold
Is this just vulgar electricity (it was so pure)
Is this the edifying fire
Does your smile's covert complicity
Debase as it admires
(just a flu with a temperature)
Are you just checking out your mojo
(oohoo)
Or am I just fighting off growing old
(just a high fever)
All I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in Come in from the cold
Oh come in
(it was so pure)
Come in from the cold I know we never will be perfect
Never entirely clear
(when the moon shines)
We get hurt and we just panic
And we strike out
(you were only being kind)
Out of fear
I fear the sentence of this solitude
200 years on hold
(for my loving crime)
Oh and all we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold Come in from the cold
Come in
(when the moon shines)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold When I thought life had some purpose
Then I thought I had some choice
And I made some value judgments
(I was running blind)
In a self(I was outa line)
But then absurdity came over me
And I longed to lose control
(into no mind)
Oh all I ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Please come in
Come in from the cold
(you were so kind)
(so kind)
Come in from the cold
Come in from the cold, etcCome in come in.
