Down To You Lyrics - Court And Spark - Joni Mitchell

Everything comes and goes 

marked by lovers and styles of clothes 

things that you held high 

and told yourself were true 

lost or changing as the days come down to you 

down to you 

constant stranger 

you're a kind person 

you're a cold person too 

it's down to you 

it all comes down to you. 

you go down to the pick up station 

craving warmth and beauty 

you settle for less than fascination 

a few drinks later you're not so choosy 

when the closing lights strip off the shadows 

on this strange new flesh you've found 

clutching the night to you like a fig leaf 

you hurry 

to the blackness 

and the blankets 

to lay down an impression 

and your loneliness 

In the morning there are lovers in the street 

they look so high 

you brush against a stranger 

and you both apologize 

old friends seem indifferent 

you must have brought that on 

old bonds have broken down 

love is gone 

ooh, love is gone 

written on your spirit this sad song 

love is gone 

Everything comes and goes 

pleasure moves on too early 

and trouble leaves too slow 

just when you're thinking 

you've finally got it made 

bad news comes knocking 

at your garden gate 

knocking for you 

constant stranger 

you're a brute-you're an angel 

you can crawl-you can fly too 

it's down to you 

it all comes down to you
