מילים לשיר Refuge Of The Roads – Joni Mitchell

I met a friend of spirit
He drank and womanized
And I sat before his sanity
He saw my complications
I was holding back from crying
And he mirrored me back simplified
And we laughed how our perfection
Would always be denied
He said "Will lighten up your heavy load"
"Heart and humor and humility" I left him for the refuge of the roads
I fell in with some drifters
Cast upon a beachtown
Winn Dixie cold cuts and highway hand me downs
For them and Boston Jim
And I wound up fixing dinner
I well up with affection
Thinking back down the roads to then
The nets were overflowing
In the Gulf of Mexico
They were overflowing in the refuge of the roads There was spring along the ditches
There were good times in the cities
Oh, radiant happiness
It was all so light and easy
Till I started analyzing
And I brought on my old ways
A thunderhead of judgment was
Gathering in my gaze
And it made most people nervous
They just didn't want to know
What I was seeing in the refuge of the roads Like a wheel of fortune
I pulled off into a forest
Crickets clicking in the ferns
I heard my fate turn, turn turn
And I went running down a white sand road
I was running like a whiteRunning to lose the blues
These are the clouds of Michelangelo
Muscular with gods and sungold
Shine on your witness in the refuge of the roads To the innocence in here
Over the month of June
In a highway service station
Was a photograph of the earth
Taken coming back from the moon
Or a forest or a highway
And you couldn't see a city
On that marbled bowling ball
Or me here least of all
You couldn't see these cold water restrooms
Or this baggage overload
Westbound and rolling taking refuge in the roads.
