Dreamland Lyrics - Shadows And Light (live) - Joni Mitchell

It's a long, long way from Canada 

A long way from snow chains 

Donkey vendors slicing coconut 

No parkas to their name 

Black babies covered in baking flour 

The cook's got a carnival song 

We're going to lay down someplace shady 

With dreamland coming on 

Dreamland, dreamland 

Dreamland, dreamland

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Walter Raleigh and Chris Columbus 

Come marching out of the waves 

And claim the beach and all concessions 

In the name of the suntan slave 

I wrapped that flag around me 

Like a Dorothy Lamour sarong 

And I lay down thinking national 

With dreamland coming on 

Dreamland, dreamland 

Dreamland, dreamland 

Goodtime Mary and a fortune hunter 

All dressed up to follow the drums 

Mary in a feather hula-hoop 

Miss Fortune with a rose on her big game gun 

All saints, all sinners shining 

Heed those trumpets all night long 

Propped up on a samba beat 

With dreamland coming on 

Dreamland, dreamland 

Dreamland, dreamland

Tar baby and the Great White Wonder 

Talking over a glass of rum 

Burning on the inside 

With the knowledge of things to come 

There's gambling out on the terrace 

And midnight ramblin' on the lawn 

As they lead toward temptation 

With dreamland coming on 

Dreamland, dreamland 

Dreamland, dreamland 

In a plane flying back to winter 

In shoes full of tropic sand 

A lady in a foreign flag 

On the arm of her Marlboro Man 

The hawk howls in New York City 

Six foot drifts on Myrtle's lawn 

As they push the recline buttons down 

With dreamland coming on 

Dreamland, dreamland 

Dreamland, dreamland 

La, La ... 

African sand on the trade winds 

And the sun on the Amazon 

As they push the reline buttons down 

With dreamland coming on 

Dreamland, dreamland 

Dreamland, dreamland
