Lyrics Amelia - Joni Mitchell
I
was
driving
across
the
burning
desert
When
I
spotted
six
jet
planes
Leaving
six
white
vapor
trails
across
the
bleak
terrain
Like
the
hexagram
of
the
heavens
Like
the
strings
of
my
guitar
Amelia,
it
was
just
a
false
alarm
The
drone
of
flying
engines
Is
a
song
so
wild
and
blue
It
scrambles
time
and
seasons
if
it
gets
through
to
you
Then
your
life
becomes
a
travelogue
Full
of
picture
post
card
charms
Amelia,
it
was
just
a
false
alarm
People
will
tell
you
where
they've
gone
They'll
tell
you
where
to
go
But
till
you
get
there
yourself
you
never
really
know
And
where
some
have
found
their
paradise
Others
just
come
to
harm
Amelia,
it
was
just
a
false
alarm
I
wish
that
he
was
here
tonight
It's
so
hard
to
obey
His
sad
request
of
me
to
kindly
stay
away
So
this
is
how
I
hide
the
hurt
As
the
road
leads
cursed
and
charmed
I
tell
Amelia
it
was
just
a
false
alarm
A
ghost
of
aviation
She
was
swallowed
by
the
sky
Or
by
the
sea
like
me
she
had
a
dream
to
fly
Like
Icarus
ascending
On
beautiful
foolish
arms
Amelia,
it
was
just
a
false
alarm
Maybe
I've
never
really
loved
I
guess
that
is
the
truth
I've
spent
my
whole
life
in
clouds
at
icy
altitudes
And
looking
down
on
everything
I
crashed
into
his
arms
Amelia,
it
was
just
a
false
alarm
I
pulled
into
the
Cactus
Tree
Motel
To
shower
off
the
dust
And
I
slept
on
strange
pillows
of
my
wanderlust
I
dreamed
of
747s
Over
geometric
farms
Dreams
Amelia,
dreams
and
false
alarms
