Joni Mitchell
I paint my joy and I sing my sorrow.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a painter first, and a musician second.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had
Joni Mitchell
I learned from admiration and osmosis.
Joni Mitchell
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
