Sisotowbell Lane Lyrics


Sisotowbell lane
Noah is fixing the pump in the rain
He brings us no shame
We always knew that he always knewUp over the hill
Jovial neighbors come down when they will
With stories to tell
Sometimes they do
Yes sometimes we doWe have a rocking chair
Each of us rocks his share
Eating muffin buns and berries
By the steamy kitchen window
Sometimes we do
Our tongues turn blueSisotowbell lane
Anywhere else now would seem very strange
The seasons are changing
Everyday in every waySometimes it is spring
Sometimes it is not anything
A poet can sing

Sometimes we try
Yes we always tryWe have a rocking chair
Some days we rock and stare
At the woodlands and the grasslands
And the badlands 'cross the river
Sometimes we do
We like the viewSisotowbell lane
Go to the city you'll come back again
To wade through the grain
You always do
Yes we always doCome back to the stars
Sweet well water and pickling jars
We'll lend you the car
We always do
Yes sometimes we doWe have a rocking chair
Someone is always there
Rocking rhythms while they're waiting
With the candle in the window
Sometimes we do
We wait for you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Joni Mitchell, CC, (born Roberta Joan Anderson; 7 November 1943 - Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada) is a musician, singer-songwriter, poet and painter. Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in her native Western Canada and then busking on the streets of Toronto. Her writing and art talent emerged before her exposure as a gifted musician performing in Western Canada, including Winnipeg, where she met Neil Young. She then associated with the burgeoning folk music scene of the mid-1960s in New York City.

Recording her début album in 1968 and achieving fame first as a songwriter ("Urge for Going", "Chelsea Morning", "Both Sides, Now", "Woodstock") and then as a singer in her own right. Finally settling in Southern California, Mitchell played a key part in the folk rock movement then sweeping the musical landscape. Blue, her starkly personal 1971 album, is regarded as one of the strongest and most influential records of the time. Mitchell also had pop hits such as "Big Yellow Taxi", "Free Man in Paris", and "Help Me", the last two from 1974's best-selling Court and Spark.

In 1975 Joni released "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" which can be seen as an artistic turning point, and the beginning of her unique blend of folk, jazz and rock. It was intended as a concept album of sorts, with the "concept" being the contrast being freedom and slavery, and the idea that wealth and status sometimes ironically place a great many constraints on people's behavior.

Mitchell is also an accomplished visual artist. She has, through photography or painting, created the artwork for each of her albums, and has described herself as a "painter derailed by circumstance". A blunt critic of the music industry, Mitchell has stopped recording over the last several years, and now focuses mainly on her visual art, although she released a new album - Shine on 25th September 2007.
