The last time i saw richard
Joni Mitchell Lyrics
The last time i saw richard Lyrics
The last time i saw richard by Joni Mitchell
And he told me all romantic meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café
“You laugh,” he said, “You think you’re immune,
Go look at your eyes, they’re full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realize they’re only pretty lies
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer,
And he pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
And she said, “Drink up now it’s getting’ on time to close”
“Richard you haven’t really changed,” I said,
“It’s just that now you’re romanticizing some pain that’s in your head
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs you punched are dreaming
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
When you gonna go get yourself back on your feet?
Oh love can be so sweet, love so sweet.”
Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
And he drinks at home now most nights with the T.V. on
And all the house lights left up bright
I’m gonna blow this damn candle out
I don’t want nobody comin’ over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin’ behind bottles in dark cafés, dark cafés
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
Only a phase, these dark café days.
