I Think I Understand Lyrics - Clouds - Joni Mitchell

Daylight falls upon the path, the forest falls behind 

Today I am not prey to dark uncertainty 

The shadow trembles in its wrath, I've robbed its blackness blind 

And tasted sunlight as my fear came clear to me 

I think I understand 

Fear is like a wilderland 

Stepping stones or sinking sand 

Now the way leads to the hills, above the steeple's chime 

Below me sleepy rooftops round the harbor 

It's there I'll take my thirsty fill of friendship over wine 

Forgetting fear but never disregarding her

Oh, I think I understand 

Fear is like a wilderland 

Stepping stones and sinking sand 

Photos 

Sometimes voices in the night will call me back again 

Back along the pathway of a troubled mind 

When forests rise to block the light that keeps a traveler sane 

I'll challenge them with flashes from a brighter time 

Oh, I think I understand 

Fear is like a wilderland 

Stepping stones or sinking sand
