LYRICS

AMELIA
by Joni Mitchell
© CRAZY CROW MUSIC 1976


I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the blue terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
The strings of this 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
Of picture-post-card-charms
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 altitude
And looking down on everything
I crashed into her arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm

I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel
To shower off the dust
And slept on strange pillows of my wanderlust
And dreamed of 747's
Over geometric farms
Dreams, Amelia, dreams and false alarms
