Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
I conceived in art college at the age of 20, near the end of term.

Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Joni Mitchell
Oh it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers
Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.
Joni Mitchell
They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had
Joni Mitchell
