Lyrics Moon At The Window - Joni Mitchell

Moon At The Window

It takes cheerful resignation
Heart and humility
That’s all it takes
A cheerful person told me Nobody’s harder on me than me How could they be And, nobody’s harder on you than you
Betsy’s blue
She says-«Tell me something good!»
You know I’d help her out if I only could
Oh, but sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window--
The thieves left that behind
People don’t know how to love
They taste it and toss it Turn it off and on Like a bathtub faucet
Oh sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find--
At least the moon at the window--
The thieves left that behind
I wish her heart
I know these battles
Deep in the dark
When the spooks of memories rattle
Ghosts of the future
Phantoms of the past
Rattle, rattle, rattle
In the spoon and the glass
Is it possible to learn
How to care and yet not care--
Since love has two faces
Hope and despair
And pleasure always turns to fear
I find--
At least the moon at the window--
The thieves left that behind
At least they left the moon
Behind the blind
Moon at the window
