Mitchell, Joni - Let The Wind Carry Me Lyrics






Papa's faith is people
Mama she believes in cleaning
Papa's faith is in people
Mama she's always cleaning
Papa brought home the sugar
Mama taught me the deeper meaning
She don't like my kick pleat skirt
She don't like my eyelids painted green
She don't like me staying up late
In my high-heeled shoes
Living for that Rock'n'Roll dancing scene
Papa says "Leave the girl alone, Mother
She's looking like a Movie Queen"

Mama thinks she spoilt me
Papa knows somehow he set me free
Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten
She blames herself
But papa he blesses me
It's a rough road to travel
Mama let go now
It's always called for me
Sometimes I get that feeling
And I want to settle
And raise a child up with somebody
I get that strong longing
And I want to settle
And raise a child up with somebody
But it passes like the summer
I'm a wild seed again
Let the wind carry me

    Yes, and it has an everlasting magic!

    I never loved Joni's beautiful voice more than on "For The Roses" and on this song. 1975, 2019 and forever.

    R.... M....

    @mac man Yes, the album is from 1972 - however I discovered it for myself only in 1975 (was my first Joni album and I still have the original vinyl). But since then, her music has become an important part of my life.

  5. M.... T....

    A beautiful song to youth and the trials of growing up

  6. J.... J....

    "Lesson in Survival" and its compliment, "Let the Wind Carry Me" perhaps my favorite part of this wonderful album, then their's "Electricity."

  7. M.... M....

    Joni, you make me feel so calm.

  8. S.... W....

    Absolutely stunning - One of Joni's best tracks - and there is a LOT of them.
