מילים לשיר The Hissing Of Summer Lawns – Joni Mitchell

He bought her a diamond for her throat
She could see the valley barbecues
From her window sill
He put her in a ranch house on a hill
Hear the hissing of summer lawns
See the blue pools in the squinting sun He put up a barbed wire fence
To keep out the unknown
And on every metal thorn
And the hissing of summer lawns
Just a little blood of his own
To a latin drum
She patrols that fence of his
Wonder makes it easy
Darkness
Darkness
With a joyful mask
Darkness
Tube's gone, darkness, darkness, darkness
No color no contrast A diamond dog
Looking through a double glass
Carrying a cup and a cane
Looking at too much pride and too much shame
There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice
There's a black fly buzzing Hissing summer lawns
He gave her his darkness to regret
And good reason to quit him
That nobody sits in
Still she stays with a love of some kind
He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
It's the lady's choice
The hissing of summer lawns.
