THE FUNDAMENTAL AXIOMS OF JONI MITCHELL

[jonimitchellsays]

I just resigned, but I'd still like to see you sometime. I would sure like to see you.

[jonimitchellsays]

My sweet tumbleweed, I need more quiet times by a river flowing. You and me, deep kisses, and the sun going down.

[jonimitchellsays]

Help me, I think I'm falling in love with you. Are you going to let me go there by myself? That's such a lonely thing to do. 

Both of us flirting around, flirting and flirting. Hurting too. We love our lovin', but not like we love our freedom.

[jonimitchellsays]

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone? 

[jonimitchellsays]

Born of grief and nights without sleep and festering flesh.

[jonimitchellsays]

Already on a bed of sighs and screams and still you torture me with visions!

[jonimitchellsays]

I do my best and I do good business! 

[jonimitchellsays]

If I had the gift of prophecy and all the knowledge and the faith to move the mountains, even if I understood all of the mysteries, If I didn’t have love, I’d be nothing.

[jonimitchellsays]

Love’s a repetitious danger.

[jonimitchellsays]

If you care, don’t let them know. Don’t give yourself away.

[jonimitchellsays]

There are no victimless crimes I know of. 

[jonimitchellsays]

Will you still love me when I call you up when I'm down?

[jonimitchellsays]

You can feel it out in traffic: everyone hates everyone!

[jonimitchellsays]

Pleasure moves on too early. 

[jonimitchellsays]

I've got blues inside and outside my head.

[jonimitchellsays]

 I could drink a case of you, darling, still I’d be on my feet. 

[jonimitchellsays]

I hope you’ll be thinking of me, cuz I’ll be thinking of you while I’m traveling home alone.
