Joni mitchell – Carey (2021 Remaster) Lyrics

Artist: Joni mitchell
Song: Carey (2021 Remaster)

The wind is in from africa
Last night i couldn’t sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here, carey
But it’s really not my home

My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
And i miss my clean white linen
And my fancy french cologne

Oh, carey, get out your cane
And i’ll put on some silver
Oh, you’re a mean old daddy
But i like you fine

Come on down to the mermaid café and i will
Buy you a bottle of wine
And we’ll laugh and toast to nothing
And smash our empty glasses down

Let’s have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let’s have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town

Come on, carey, get out your cane
I’ll put on some silver
Oh, you’re a mean old daddy
But i like you

I like you, i like you, i like you
Maybe i’ll go to amsterdam
Or maybe i’ll go to rome
And rent me a grand piano

And put some flowers ’round my room
But let’s not talk about fare~thee~wells now
The night is a starry dome
And they’re playin’ that scratchy rock and roll

Beneath the matala moon
Come on, carey, get out your cane
And i’ll put on some silver
You’re a mean old daddy

But i like you
The wind is in from africa
Last night i couldn’t sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here

But it’s really not my home
Maybe it’s been too long a time
Since i was scramblin’ down in the street
Now they got me used to that clean white linen

And that fancy french cologne
Oh, carey, get out your cane
I’ll put on my finest silver
We’ll go to the mermaid café

Have fun tonight
I said, oh, you’re a mean old daddy
But you’re out of sight
