This is a verse from one of my all time favourite songs by the amazing Joni Mitchell (who happened to grow up only 3 hours from my hometown in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan). The song is called A Case of You , it is beautifully written and Joni delivers it so well with her unique voice and style. I have added the file below and I recommend you take a listen. (This is my favourite verse from the song and holds one of my favourite quotes)
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I am frightened by the devil
And I’m drawn to those one that ain’t afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said,
“Love is touching souls,”
Surely you touched mine
Cause’ part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Joni Mitchell could soothe the devil in the middle of a hissy fit.
Agreed!
If I haven’t told you, I love your blog. You’ve brought more than one smile on a tough day.
Thank you I am glad to hear some of my words may lift a spirit or two! 🙂
Love, love, love Joni Mitchell’s song Case of You… =) Now I must go listen to it lol
