What Will You Give Me - Joni Mitchell

What will you give me for one prairie night?

Silver fields and meadows and the moon’s silver light

Mister cat in the hay loft with silvery eye

All these precious possessions I’ll sell, if you’ll buy

What will you give me for one prairie day?

The golden fields of autumn and the primrose in May

Sun’s courtin' meadowlarks, off in the sky

All those precious possessions I’ll sell if you’ll buy

What will you give me for one prairie breeze?

Rippling the grasses and rustling the trees

Wafting the scent of the newly mown hay

All those precious possessions I’ll sell if you’ll pay

What will you give me for one prairie sky?

An amethyst sea with cloud galleons sailing by

The aurora dancing on cold winter nights

All these precious possessions I’ll sell for a price

What will you give me for one prairie day?

With the earth cracked and smokin'

Where we’d crossed yesterday

Gone the birds from the air, gone the child I begot

All those precious possessions I sold, and for what?
