Joni Mitchell
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I hired a coach to take me from confusion to the plane
2
And though we shared a common space I know I'll never meet again
3
The driver with his eyebrows furrowed in the rear-view mirror
4
I read his name and it was plainly written Nathan La Franeer
5
I asked him would he hurry
6
But we crawled the canyons slowly
7
Through the buyers and the sellers
8
Through the burglar bells and the wishing wells
9
With gangs and girly shows
10
The ghostly garden grows
11
The cars and buses bustled through the bedlam of the day
12
I looked through window-glass at streets and Nathan grumbled at the grey
13
I saw an aging cripple selling Superman balloons
14
The city grated through chrome-plate
15
The clock struck slowly half-past-noon
16
Through the tunnel tiled and turning
17
Into daylight once again I am escaping
18
Once again goodbye
19
To symphonies and dirty trees
20
With parks and plastic clothes
21
The ghostly garden grows
22
He asked me for a dollar more
23
He cursed me to my face
24
He hated everyone who paid to ride
25
And share his common space
26
I picked my bags up from the curb
27
And stumbled to the door
28
Another man reached out his hand
29
Another hand reached out for more
30
And I filled it full of silver
31
And I left the fingers counting
32
And the sky goes on forever
33
Without meter maids and peace parades
34
You feed it all your woes
35
The ghostly garden grows
