We're captive on the carousel of time, we can't return we can only look behind.

Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star

When you reach that kind of successful pinnacle, it is the nature of the business and the press and everything that they go about tearing you down.
Joni Mitchell

We are stardust, we are golden and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Joni Mitchell

Inside your own self pity there you swim, in sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you, and only with your laughter can you win.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Everybody's saying hell's the hippest way to go. Well, I don't think so, but I'm gonna take a look around it though.
Joni Mitchell
Image
But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day

All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.
