Album: Night Ride Home
Artist: Joni Mitchell
 

Music by larry klein words by joni mitchell

Must i forgive you
Each time
And say you don’t know what your’re doing
There are no victimless crimes
I know of
Out here in these graffiti ruins
My love

Oh i am not old
I’m told
But i am not young
Oh and nothing can be done
Don’t start
My heart
Is a smoking gun
Oh and nothing can be done

I heard you leaving
Late last night
I heard you screaming down the mountain
Like you were running red lights
(red lights)
You had some trash-can-rock-band pounding

Oh i am not old
I’m told
But i am not young
Oh and nothing can be done
Don’t start
My heart
Is a smoking gun
Oh and nothing can be done

Must i surrender
With grace
The things i loved when i was younger
(sweet embrace)
Must i remember your face
So well
What do i do here with this hunger

Oh i am not old
I’m told
But i am not young
Oh and nothing can be done
Don’t start
My heart
Is a smoking gun
Oh and nothing can be done

Nothing can be done
Nothing can be done
Oh nothing can be done
