Joni Mitchell - Shadows & Light Lyrics
Every picture has its shadowsAnd it has some source of lightBlindness, blindness and sightThe perils of benefactorsThe blessings of parasitesBlindness, blindness and sightThreatened by all thingsDevil of crueltyDrawn to all thingsDevil of delightMythical devil of the ever-present lawsGoverning blindness, blindness and sightSuntans in reservation dining roomsPale miners in their lantern raysNight, night and dayHostage smile on presidentsFreedom scribbled in the subwayIts like night, night and dayThreatened by all thingsGod of crueltyDrawn to all thingsGod of delightMythical God of the everlasting lawsGoverning day, day and nightCritics of all expressionJudges in black and whiteSaying its wrong, saying its rightCompelled by prescribed standardsOr some ideals we fightFor wrong, wrong and rightThreatened by all thingsMan of cruelty-mark of cainDrawn to all thingsMan of delight-born again, born againMan of the laws, the ever-broken lawsGoverning wrong, wrong and rightGoverning wrong, wrong and rightWrong and right
