The Priest Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

The priest sat in the airport bar 

He was wearing his father's tie 

And his eyes looked into my eyes so far 

Whenever the words ran dry 

Behind the lash and the circles blue 

He looked as only a priest can, thru 

And his eyes said me and his eyes said you 

And my eyes said, let us try 

He said, "You wouldn't like it here 

No it's no place you should share 

The roof is ripped with hurricanes 

And the room is always bare 

I need the wind and I seek the cold" 

He reached post the wine for my hand to hold 

And he saw me young and he saw me old 

And he saw me sitting there

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Then he took his contradictions out 

And he splashed them on my brow 

So which words was I then to doubt 

When choosing what to vow 

Should I choose them all-should I make them mine 

The sermons, the hymns and the valentines 

And he asked for truth and he asked for time 

And he asked for only now 

Now the trials are trumpet scored 

Oh will we pass the test 

Or just as one loves more and more 

Will one love less and less 

Oh come let's run from this ring we're in 

Where the Christians clap and the Germans grin 

Saying let them lose, crying let them win 

Oh make them both confess
