The hissing of summer lawns (Live) Lyrics by Tutu Puoane

Tutu Puoane Sings Joni Mitchell Live

0

[Verse 1]
He bought her a diamond for her throat
He put her in a ranch house on a hill
She could see the valley barbecues
From her window sill
See the blue pools in the squinting sun
Hear the hissing of summer lawns
[Verse 2]
He put up a barbed wire fence
To keep out the unknown
And on every metal thorn
Just a little blood of his own
She patrols that fence of his to a latin drum
And the hissing of summer lawns
Darkness
Wonder makes it easy
Darkness
With a joyful mask
Darkness
Tube's gone, darkness, darknеss, darkness
No color no contrast
[Verse 3]
A diamond dog
Carrying a cup and a cane
Looking through a double glass
Looking at too much pridе and too much shame
There's a black fly buzzing
There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice
Hissing summer lawns
[Verse 4]
He gave her his darkness to regret
And good reason to quit him
He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
That nobody sits in
Still she stays with a love of some kind
It's the lady's choice
The hissing of summer lawns
