Joni Mitchell - CARA`S CASTLE слова песни
If you ever come to our townOn a carousel crusadeAnd you`re tired of fighting windmills with a nailCross the fence and join the dragonsWho have never made the gradeCara`s castle and the keepers of a most unholy grail.Oh Cara, Queen of the losers, ruler of the weakGive the poet what he chooses till he`s too dumb to speakThere`s a clock upon the mantleBut its hands forget the timeAnd the windows turn their backs upon the dayAnd the people in the shadowsCould be all lost friends of mineCara`s courtiers need no light – need no light to lose their wayOh Cara, Queen of the losers, ruler of the weakGive the poet what he chooses till he`s too dumb to speakFrom the end to the beginningCrippled minds retrace the stepsFrom the burial to the birth they do retreatWonderin` where and when and whyTheir souls were slaughtered while they sleptCara`s courtiers know no victory – know no victory just defeatOh Cara, Queen of the losers, ruler of the weakGive the poet what he chooses till he`s too dumb to speakOne by one the battered soldiersGo slowly cross the moatOne by one they seek new castles somewhere elseWith their crutches and the cravensAnd I wonder is there hopeIs there hope for Cara`s courtiers – and the wars against themselvesOh Cara, Queen of the losers, ruler of the weakGive the poet what he chooses till he`s too dumb to speak
