Joni Mitchell - Down To You lyrics

Everything comes and goes<br>Marked by lovers and styles of clothes<br>Things that you held high<br>And told yourself were true<br>Lost or changing as the days come down to you<br>Down to you<br>Constant stranger<br>You're a kind person<br>You're a cold person too<br>It's down to you<br>It all comes down to you.<br>You go down to the pick up station<br>Craving warmth and beauty<br>You settle for less than fascination<br>A few drinks later you're not so choosy<br>When the closing lights strip off the shadows<br>On this strange new flesh you've found<br>Clutching the night to you like a fig leaf<br>You hurry<br>To the blackness<br>And the blankets<br>To lay down an impression<br>And your loneliness<br><br>In the morning there are lovers in the street<br>They look so high<br>You brush against a stranger<br>And you both apologize<br>Old friends seem indifferent<br>You must have brought that on<br>Old bonds have broken down<br>Love is gone<br>Ooh, love is gone<br>Written on your spirit this sad song<br>Love is gone<br><br>Everything comes and goes<br>Pleasure moves on too early<br>And trouble leaves too slow<br>Just when you're thinking<br>You've finally got it made<br>Bad news comes knocking<br>At your garden gate<br>Knocking for you<br>Constant stranger<br>You're a brute-you're an angel<br>You can crawl-you can fly too<br>It's down to you<br>It all comes down to you
