Night Wilds - Joni

Joni lived in a carousel
Where the highway met the wishing well
Said she'd take that road with me going anywhere, yeah yeah

Had skin like the evening clouds
When she'd talk I'd always come around
Said she'd leave that traveling show
Going anywhere

But she's alone now
And she's never coming back
But for her lipstick on a glass

Fell asleep on a warmed up spoon
Said she couldn't pass the test
Now all the days
They feel like all the rest

And the jugglers are waiting tables now
Pennants blow across the ground
Who are we without a crowd?
Just a shroud at laughter's end

Joni laid with a broken wing
Watched as the sparrows sang
Told me the time was too long gone by

And I would sink
In these city stones
Lay down my guns
And go alone
Through the gates
Of flesh and bone
I'd bring you home

But your alone now
And your never coming back
But for your imprint in the grass

Met your match on a warmed up spoon
Said you could not pass the test
Now all the days
They seem like all the rest
Joni, where have you gone?
These days are so soft and young
