Joni Mitchell
[Verse 1]
He bought her a diamond for her throat
He put her in a ranch house on a hill
She could see the valley barbecues
From her windowsill
See the blue pools in the squinting sun
Hear the hissing of summer lawns
[Verse 2]
He put up a barbed wire fence
To keep out the unknown
And on every metal thorn
Just a little blood of his own
She patrols that fence of his to a Latin drum
And the hissing of summer lawns
[Chorus]
(Darkness) Wonder makes it easy
(Darkness) With a joyful mask
(Darkness) Tube's gone, darkness, darkness, darkness
No color, no contrast
[Verse 3]
Diamond dog carrying a cup and a cane
Looking through a double glass
Looking at too much pride and too much shame
There's a black fly buzzing
There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice
Hissing summer lawns
[Verse 4]
He gave her his darkness to regret
And good reason to quit him
He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
That nobody sits in
Still, she stays with a love of some kind
It's the lady's choice
The hissing of summer lawns
[Outro]
