מילים לשיר For Free – Joni Mitchell

I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
And the children let out from the schools
Waiting for the walking green
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
And he played real good
I was standing on a noisy corner
On his clarinet, for free
Across the street he stood
Now me I play for fortunes I've got a black limousine
And those velvet curtain calls
And two gentlemen
Escorting me to the halls
And I play if you have the money
Or if you're a friend to me
But the one man band
By the quick lunch stand He was playing real good, for free
Nobody stopped to hear him
They knew he had never
Though he played so sweet and high
Been on their T.V.
I meant to go over and ask for a song
So they passed his music by
Maybe put on a harmony.
I heard his refrain
As the signal changed
He was playing real good, for free.
