Song For Sharon Lyrics

Cover art for Song For Sharon lyrics by Joni Mitchell

'Little Indian kids on a bridge up in Canada They can balance and they can climb Like their fathers before them They'll walk the girders of the Manhattan skyline'

this is lovely. a little bit of history. the white workers got vertigo and couldn't build the high skyscrapers of new york so they got the native indians from canada to come work as builders as they could balance and keep a level head at great heights.it saddens me that this song was written under the influence of cocaine. i wonder what other great songs came from that induced state.
