Joni Mitchell — What Will You Give Me

What will you give me for one prairie night? Silver fields and meadows and the moon’s silver light Mister cat in the hay loft with silvery eye All these precious possessions I’ll sell, if you’ll buy What will you give me for one prairie day? The golden fields of autumn and the primrose in May Sun’s courtin’ meadowlarks, off in the sky All those precious possessions I’ll sell if you’ll buy What will you give me for one prairie breeze? Rippling the grasses and rustling the trees Wafting thе scent of the newly mown hay All thosе precious possessions I’ll sell if you’ll pay What will you give me for one prairie sky? An amethyst sea with cloud galleons sailing by The aurora dancing on cold winter nights All these precious possessions I’ll sell for a price What will you give me for one prairie day? With the earth cracked and smokin’ Where we’d crossed yesterday Gone the birds from the air, gone the child I begot All those precious possessions I sold, and for what?
