Joni Mitchell
Court and Spark
[Verse 1: Norah Jones]
Love came to my door
With a sleeping roll
And a madman's soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman
To court and spark
[Verse 2: Norah Jones]
He was playing on the sidewalk
For passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So he buried the coins he made in People's Park
And went looking for a woman
To court and spark
[Bridge: Norah Jones]
It seemed like he read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him
And still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
I worry sometimes
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3: Norah Jones]
"All the guilty people," he said
They've all seen the stain
On their daily bread
On their christian names
I cleared myself
I sacrificed my blues
And you could complete me
I'd complete you
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 4: Norah Jones]
His eyes were the color of the sand and the sea
And the more he talked to me
The more he reached me
Oh, but I couldn't let go of L.A
City of the fallen angels
[Instrumental]
