Amelia Lyrics - Hejira - Joni Mitchell

I was driving across the burning desert 

When I spotted six jet planes 

Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain 

It was the hexagram of the heavens 

It was the strings of my guitar 

Amelia it was just a false alarm 

 

The drone of flying engines 

Is a song so wild and blue 

It scrambles time and seasons if it gets thru to you 

Then your life becomes a travelogue 

Of picture post card charms 

Amelia it was just a false alarm

People will tell you where they've gone 

They'll tell you where to go 

But till you get there yourself you never really know 

Where some have found their paradise 

Others just come to harm 

Oh, Amelia it was just a false alarm 

 

I wish that he was here tonight 

It's so hard to obey 

His sad request of me to kindly stay away 

So this is how I hide the hurt 

As the road leads cursed and charmed 

I tell Amelia it was just a false alarm 

 

A ghost of aviation 

She was swallowed by the sky 

Or by the sea like me she had a dream to fly 

Like Icarus ascending 

On beautiful foolish arms 

Amelia it was just a false alarm

Maybe I've never really loved 

I guess that is the truth 

I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitudes 

And looking down on everything 

I crashed into his arms 

Amelia it was just a false alarm 

 

I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel 

To shower off the dust 

And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust 

I dreamed of 747s 

Over geometric farms 

Dreams Amelia, dreams and false alarms
