The Silky Veils Of Ardor Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

I am a poor wayfaring stranger 

Traveling through all these highs and lows 

I heard there was no sickness 

And no toil or danger 

Just mercy and plenty 

Where peaceful waters flow 

Where peaceful waters flow 

Come all you fair and tender school girls 

Be careful now--when you court young men 

They are like the stars 

On a summer morning 

They sparkle up the night 

And they're gone again 

Daybreak--gone again

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

If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor 

What a killing crime this love can be 

I would have locked up my heart 

In a golden sheath of armor 

And kept its crazy beating 

Under strictest secrecy 

High security 

Photos 

I wish I had the wings 

Of Noah's pretty little white dove 

So I could fly this raging river 

To reach the one I love 

But I have no wings 

And the water is so wide 

We'll have to row a little harder 

It's just in dreams we fly 

In my dreams we fly!
