Joni Mitchell - STAY IN TOUCH lyrics

This is really something

People will be envious

But our roles aren't clear

So we musn't rush

Still, we're burning brightly

Clinging like fire to fuel

I'm grinning like a fool

Stay in touch

We should stay in touch

Oh! Stay in touch

In touch

Part of this is permanent

Part of this is passing

So we must be loyal and wary

Not to give away too much

Til we build a firm foundation

And empty out old habits

Old habits

Stay in touch

We should stay in touch

Oh! Stay in touch

In touch

During times like these

The wise or influential

They can bear the imperfections

They can keep the money

No doubt about it

No doubt that's essential

No doubt that's always been a tricky one for me

So, we should just surrender

Let fate and duty shape us

Let light hearts remake us

Let the worries hush

In the middle of this continent

In the middle of our time on Earth

We perceive one another

Stay in touch

We should stay in touch

Oh! Stay in touch

In touch
