Lover Of Joni

She called me from a party There was laughter in the background Sounded like the ocean When you hold a seashell to your ear She said "How's the writing going?" Said "It comes and goes in waves" I tried to think of a way to say I wish I'd been the lover of Joni Wish I'd been a '70s icon Wish I had a friend like Leonard Wish I had a song like "Woodstock" And she said "Don't be dramatic You are who you are You've been who you've been And you're doing just fine And besides She'd have eaten you alive" And I tried to think of a way to say I wish I'd been the lover of Joni Wish I'd been a '70s icon Wish I had a friend like Leonard Wish I had a song like "Woodstock" I wish I'd been the lover of Joni Wish I'd been a '70s icon Wish I had a friend like Leonard Wish I had a song like "Woodstock" Track from the album "Send In The Clowns", dedicated to Joni Mitchell
