Chinese Cafe/unchained Melody Lyrics - A Woman In The East - Joni Mitchell

Caught in the middle 

Carol we're middle class 

We're middle aged 

We were wild in the old days 

Birth of rock 'n' roll days 

Now your kids are coming up straight 

And my child's a stranger 

I bore her 

But I could not raise her 

Nothing lasts for long 

Nothing lasts for long 

Nothing lasts for long 

Down at the Chinese Cafe 

We'd be dreaming on our dimes 

We'd be playing "Oh my love, my darling" 

One more time

Uranium money 

Is booming in the old home town now 

It's putting up sleek concrete 

Tearing the old landmarks down now 

Paving over brave little parks 

Ripping off Indian land again 

How long how long 

Short sighted business men 

Ah nothing lasts for long 

Nothing lasts for long 

Nothing lasts for long 

Down at the Chinese Cafe 

We'd be dreaming on our dimes 

We'd be playing "You give your love, so sweetly" 

One more time 

Photos 

Christmas is sparkling 

Out on Carol's lawn 

This girl of my childhood games 

With kids nearly grown and gone 

Grown so fast 

Like the turn of a page 

We look like our mothers did now 

When we were those kids' age 

Nothing lasts for long 

Nothing lasts for long 

Nothing lasts for long 

Down at the Chinese Cafe 

We'd be dreaming on our dimes 

We'd be playing 

"Oh my love, my darling 

I've hungered for your touch 

A long lonely time 

And time goes by so slowly 

And time can do so much 

Are you still mine? 

I need your love 

I need your love 

God speed your love to me" 

(Time goes - where does the time go 

I wonder where the time goes)
