Lyrics Moon At The Window - Live 1995 - Joni Mitchell

Betsy is blue
She says, "Tell me something good"
You know I'd help her out if I only could

Oh, but sometimes the light can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window
The thieves left that behind

People don't know how to love
They taste it and toss it
Turn it off and on like a bathtub faucet

Oh, sometimes the light can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window
The thieves left that behind

I wish her heart
I know these battles
Deep in the dark when the spooks of memories rattle

Ghosts of the future
Phantoms of the past
Rattle, rattle, rattle in the spoon and the glass

Is it possible to learn how to care and yet not care?
Since love has two faces
Hope and despair

And pleasure always turns to fear
I find at least the moon at the window
The thieves left that behind

Moon at the window, they left that behind
At least they left the moon behind the blind
Moon at the window
