Sweet Bird Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Zubby 

Cover art for Sweet Bird lyrics by Joni Mitchell

This song is about life, and about time slipping away as you grow ever older.

god, this is such an anguishing cry of impermanence in the world of form. sometimes when i stand in front of the bathroom mirror i hear...

Give me some time I feel like I'm losing mine Out here on this horizon line With the earth spinning And the sky forever rushing

it is on the same level as john's 'across the universe'

Wow this song is amazing....makes me feel so tiny. "Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching" reminds me a litte of mathematical sets - you know those circles that intersect.

Part of a really excellent album!

I should be studying instead of listening to this but somehow I can't!
