VERSE
See You Sometime
Joni Mitchell
Where are you now
Are you in some hotel room
Does it have a view?
Are you caught in a crowd
Or holding some honey
Who came on to you?
Why do you have to be so
O.K. hang up the phone
It hurts
But (something survives)[2]
Though it's undermined
I'd still like to see you sometime
I'm feeling so good
And my friends all tell me
That I'm (looking fine)[3]
I run in the woods
I spring from the boulders
Like a (mama lion)[4]
I'm not ready to
Change my name again
But you know I'm not after
A piece of your fortune
And your fame
'Cause I tasted mine
I'd just like to see you sometime
(Pack your suspenders)[5]
I'll come meet your plane
No need to surrender
I just want to see you again
We're in for more rain
I could sure use some sunshine on my apple trees
It seems such a shame
We start out so kind and end so heartlessly
I couldn't take them all on then
With a headful of questions and hypes
So when the hopes got so slim
I just resigned
But I'd still like to see you sometime
I'd sure like to see you
