I can run my fingers against all the bricks and mortar and senseĪnd although I'm mournful I've known that I'm not immortal I get a bit further from the kid called PaulĪnd I get a bit closer to the big brick wall I ride around the sun on this big blue ball Which would make it tougher to leave something for you and your brother"īut it's plain to me the key fact is it's easy to act like cash means jack shit ifĪnd the greatest honor I could have is to make a buck and pass back aįraction of all the happiness you gave to meĪnd I will never make you live where you don't aim to be That's a spot taking a loan would help us cover We can't work forever, eventually money will run out

It's first time that we've had this conversationīut we've reached age where we should probably talk arrangements We don't bother doing Christmas in the Bay any longer Now I'm sitting in my living room in Brooklyn with my father Made the mistake of blinking, twenty years passed That isn't for a long, long, long, long time I can see you're in a hurry but don't worry cause Not a soul on the planet gets to wiggle outĪnd he said that I know that's it's tough to take in son but it's so early You don't get to hide from it even if you shout I think everybody got a little bit of doubt I admit that it's difficult to think about The fewer hours left the more they're worth Or returning to the state before your birth

So I'm thinking maybe death is like eternal TV static In my heart I know I don't believe in magic Since I'm sorta really not religious it's a crapshootĪlthough the thought of paradise is very nice Probably thinking, "How'd I raise this emo fucking nine-year- old?" You got the answer so give it, so give it, so give itĭad says, Georgie I'm just guessing from what I've been told Or do we come back as a bullfrog and talk in ribbits?

It's like we're sprinting towards a brick wall we're pretending isn't there Me confessing the burning question stressing and concerning me andīut these days are flying past us and nobody seems to care

Joni's introduction to the song on Octoat The Second Fret in Philadelphia: © OctoGandalf Pub Co, then ApSiquomb Publishing Corp (as 'He Comes For Conversation') You'll hear him say "I've wanted you baby for such a long time"

( Late 1967 version, which stayed largely the same throughout the Song To A Seagull sessions.:)īut maybe if a dozen days are warm and right She only brings him out to show her friendsĪnd he'll speak his sorrow endlessly and ask me why
