Like The Lonely Swallow - Joni Mitchell

Kiss me on a Sunday

A hop and skip and run day

And though he left on Monday

His kiss stayed lingering

In the days to follow

My heart became a hollow

And like the lonely swallow

I’ve but one song to sing

Of happy sorrow only love can bring

Letter came on Tuesday

Goodbye to those blues days

He asked me that good new day

To catch the Wednesday train

Hands of clock are lagging

Hours pass a dragging

Warning tongues are wagging

You’ll break your heart again

But I know this love

Would never bring me pain

Often while we wander

My love and I do ponder

Which of us is fonder

Of the new love each has found

I say he’s the baker

The makes the wonder awaken

Take the refuge that she’s seekin

From the stormy world around

And forget the lonely places

She was bound
