Joni Mitchell — Hunter - Blue Sessions

[Verse 1] I was alone and sickly It was a quarter of a moonlit night I heard him cry through my window shade and it filled me so full of fright But I could not turn my back on him I put on the back porch light "Can I help you?" said the good samaritan "Can I help you?" said the good samaritan [Verse 2] I brought him bread and a blanket But I told him "You can't come in here" You can sleep outside in the tool shed Though a little rain comes in Well, I don't know you, you're a stranger to me No, I don't know where you've been "You can't come in here," said the keeper of the inn "I don't want you in here," said the keeper of the inn [Verse 3] But I couldn't sleep for the thinking You know my night got so insane I thought, maybe hе was an angel And I left him out in the rain And what if hе was the devil? He'd be coming after me again But when I woke in the weary morning he was gone When I woke in the weary morning he was gone [Verse 4] I thought maybe he was an angel And I left him out in the rain And what if he was the devil? He'd be coming after me again When I woke in the weary morning he was gone He was gone He was gone, he was gone, he was gone, he was gone When I woke in the morning, he was gone
