מילים לשיר Hejira – Joni Mitchell

I'm traveling in some vehicle
I'm sitting in some cafe
A defector from the petty wars
There's comfort in melancholy
When there's no need to explain
That shell shock love away
It's just as natural as the weather
So much could not be expressed
In this moody sky today
In our possessive coupling
So now I'm returning to myself
These things that you and I suppressed
Just at this moment of the world
Waltzing on a ballroom girl
I see something of myself in everyone
As snow gathers like bolts of lace You know it never has been easy
Whether you travel the breadth of extremities
Or stick to some straighter line
Whether you do or you do not resign
Now here's a man and a woman sitting on a rock
Coming thru' the snow and the pinewood trees
They're either going to thaw out or freeze
Listen.
I'm porous with travel fever
Strains of Benny Goodman
Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger
But you know I'm so glad to be on my own
Can set up trembling in my bones
I know We all come and go unknown
Between the forceps and the stone
Each so deep and superficial Well I looked at the granite markers
Those tribute to finality And then I looked at myself here
Chicken scratching for my immortality
And the wax rolls down like tears
In the church they light the candles
I've witnessed thirty years
There's the hope and the hopelessness
We're only particles of change I know, I know
Orbiting around the sun
But how can I have that point of view
When I'm always bound and tied to someone
White flags of winter chimneys
Waving truce against the moon
>From the window of a hotel room
In the mirrors of a modern bank I'm traveling in some vehicle
I'm sitting in some cafe
A defector from the petty wars
Until love sucks me back that way.
