[00:11.47]Joni Mitchell - The Last Time I Saw Richard
[00:59.89]The last time i saw richard was detroit in '68,
[01:03.61]And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
[01:08.55]Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
[01:16.92]You laugh, he said you think you're immune, go look at your eyes
[01:22.06]They're full of moon
[01:23.88]You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
[01:28.23]All those pretty lies, pretty lies
[01:35.22]When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies
[01:40.64]Only pretty lies, just pretty lies
[01:49.70]
[01:57.35]He put a quarter in the wurlitzer, and he pushed
[02:01.20]Three buttons and the thing began to whirr
[02:04.35]And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
[02:08.70]And she said "drink up now it's gettin' on time to close."
[02:13.71]"richard, you haven't really changed," i said
[02:16.66]It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
[02:20.86]You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs
[02:24.14]You punched are dreaming
[02:26.77]Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
[02:32.07]When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
[02:37.08]Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet
[02:49.36]
[02:54.25]Richard got married to a figure skater
[02:57.00]And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
[03:01.28]And he drinks at home now most nights with the tv on
[03:04.91]And all the house lights left up bright
[03:10.68]I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
[03:13.52]I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
[03:16.44]I got nothing to talk to anybody about
[03:18.87]All good dreamers pass this way some day
[03:22.97]Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
[03:25.88]Dark cafes
[03:28.62]Only a dark cocoon before i get my gorgeous wings
[03:34.51]And fly away
[03:36.10]Only a phase, these dark cafe days

Joni Mitchell - The Last Time I Saw Richard
The last time i saw richard was detroit in '68,
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he said you think you're immune, go look at your eyes
They're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies
He put a quarter in the wurlitzer, and he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirr
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
And she said "drink up now it's gettin' on time to close."
"richard, you haven't really changed," i said
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs
You punched are dreaming
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet

All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before i get my gorgeous wings
And fly away
Only a phase, these dark cafe days
