Sisotowbell Lane Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

Sisotowbell Lane 

Noah is fixing the pump in the rain 

He brings us no shame 

We always knew that he always knew 

Up over the hill 

Jovial neighbors come down when they will 

With stories to tell 

Sometimes they do 

Yes sometimes we do 

We have a rocking chair 

Each of us rocks his share 

Eating muffin buns and berries 

By the steamy kitchen window 

Sometimes we do 

Our tongues turn blue 

Sisotowbell Lane 

Anywhere else now would seem very strange 

The seasons are changing 

Everyday in everyway 

Sometimes it is spring 

Sometimes it is not anything 

A poet can sing 

Sometimes we try 

Yes we always try 

We have a rocking chair 

Somedays we rock and stare 

At the woodlands and the grasslands and the badlands 'cross the river 

Sometimes we do 

We like the view 

Sisotowbell Lane 

Go to the city you'll come back again 

To wade thru the grain 

You always do 

Yes we always do 

Come back to the stars 

Sweet well water and pickling jars 

We'll lend you the car 

We always do 

Yes sometimes we do 

We have a rocking chair 

Someone is always there 

Rocking rhythms while they're waiting with the candle in the window 

Sometimes we do 

We wait for you
