That Song About the Midway (Live)-Joni Mitchell/James Taylor

[00:08.446]I met you on a midway at a fair last year [00:19.447]And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear [00:29.947]You were playin' on the horses, you were playin' on the guitar strings [00:38.447]You were playin' like a devil wearin' wings [00:48.698]Wearin' wings, you looked so grand wearin' wings [00:57.697]Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing? [01:06.448]Can you fly? I heard you can, can you fly,can you fly? [01:16.699]Like an eagle doin' your huntin' from the sky [01:30.200]I followed with the sideshows to another town [01:40.448]And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds [01:51.449]You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice [02:08.449]Once or twice, I heard your bid once or twice,once or twice [02:19.450]Were you wond'rin' was the gamble worth the price? [02:26.699]Pack it in, I heard you did, pack it in,pack it in [02:36.200]Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win? [02:49.900]So lately you've been hidin', it was somewhere in the news [03:00.450]And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues [03:10.701]And a voice calls out the numbers and it sometimes mentions mine [03:29.826]Over time, I've lost my fire over time [03:30.078]And I feel like I've been workin' overtime [03:37.076]Always playin' another hand for another dime [03:46.577]Slowin' down, I'm gettin' tired, slowin' down [03:55.827]And I envy you the valley that you've found [04:05.077]Cause I'm midway down the midway [04:12.578]And I'm slowin' down [04:26.828]Down, down, down
