car on a hill

joni mitchell

i've been sitting up waiting for my sugar to show

i've been listening to the sirens & the radio

he said he'd be over three hours ago

i've been waitin' for his car on the hill

he makes friends easy

he's not like me

i watch for judgment anxiously

now where in the city

can that boy be?

waitin' for a car

climbin'

climbin'

climbin' the hill

he's a real good talker

i think he's a friend

fast tires come screaming around the bend

but there's still no buzzer

they roll on

and i'm waitin' for his car on the hill

you know he seemed so righteous at the start

when there's so much laughter

when there's so much spark

when there's so much sweetness in the dark

waitin' for a car

climbin'

climbin'

climbin' the hill
