Joni Mitchell - Moon At The Window lyrics

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 gla** 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
