Joni Mitchell - Chair in the Sky [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

The rain
Slammed hard
As bars
It caught me
By surprise
Mutt of the planet
And
Shook
Me
Down
For alibis
I'm waiting
For the keeper to release me
Debating this sentence
Biding my time
In memories
Of old friends of mine...
In daydreams of Birdland
I see my soul on fire
Burning up the bandstand
Next time
I'll be bigger
I'll be better than ever
I'll be happily attached
To my cold hard cash
But now
Manhattan holds me
To a chair in the sky
With the Bird in my ears
And boats in my eyes
Going
By

There's things I wish I'd done
Old friends
I'm gonna miss
Beautiful lovers
I
Never
Got the chance
To kiss...

Daydreamin' drugs the pain of living
Processions of missing
Lovers and friends
Fade in
And they fade out again
In
Daydreams of rebirth
I see myself in style
Raking in what I'm worth
Next time
I'll be bigger
I'll be better than ever
I'll be resurrected royal
I'll be rich as Standard Oil
But now
Manhattan holds me
To a chair in the sky
With the Bird in my ears
And boats in my eyes
Going by
