Little Green - Joni Mitchell

Born with the moon in cancer

Choose her a name she will answer to Call her green and the winters cannot fade her

Call her green for the children whove made her

Little green, be a gypsy dancer

He went to california

Hearing that everythings warmer there

So you write him a letter and say, «her eyes are blue.»

He sends you a poem and shes lost to you

Little green, hes a non-conformer

Ch0rus:

Just a little green

Like the color when the spring is born

Therell be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

Just a little green

Like the nights when the northern lights perform

Therell be icicles and birthday clothes

And sometimes therell be sorrow

Child with a child pretending

Weary of lies you are sending home

So you sign all the papers in the family name

Youre sad and youre sorry, but youre not ashamed

Little green, have a happy ending

Just a little green

Like the color when the spring is born

Therell be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

Just a little green

Like the nights when the northern lights perform

Therell be icicles and birthday clothes

And sometimes therell be sorrow
