Down To You Lyrics

Cover art for Down To You lyrics by Joni Mitchell

The first time I heard this song was in a music appreciation class in the late 80's. For some reason the line "you brush against a stranger and you both apologize" stuck in my head for the next 15 years. One day I was at a flea market and I saw some joni records. I bought the records and was thinking about that line all the way home and how crazy it would be if that song was on one of those records.

It happened to be on the first record I played and when I heard the line, I cried. It gave me that heart wrenching feeling (you know what I'm talking about). For a long time, I couldn't listen to this song without crying. It still gives me that feeling when I hear it today.
