I Don’t Know Where I Stand - (From: ”Michael’s Birthday Tape: North Carolina”, May 1967) by Joni Mitchell
Performed by
Joni MitchellAbout
In this earlier recording of the song the only difference in the lyrics (from the 1969 version recorded for her second album “Clouds”) is in the sixth verse in which Joni sings “All alone in Carolina and talking to you” instead of “All alone in California and talking to you”
I Don’t Know Where I Stand - (From: ”Michael’s Birthday Tape: North Carolina”, May 1967) Lyrics
Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand
Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone in Carolina and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand
Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now I'll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand
