  • 作词 : Joni Mitchell
    作曲 : Joni Mitchell
    There's a man who's been out sailing
    In a decade full of dreams

    And he takes her to a schooner
    And he treats her like a queen
    Bearing beads from California
    With their amber stones and green

    He has called her from the harbor

    He has kissed her with his freedom

    He has heard her off to starboard

    In the breaking and the breathing of the water weeds

    While she was busy being free

    There's a man who's climbed a mountain
    And he's calling out her name

    And he hopes her heart can hear
    3000 miles he calls again
    He can think her there beside him
    He can miss her just the same

    He has missed her in the forest

    While he showed her all the flowers

    And the branches sang the chorus

    As he climbed the scaly towers of a forest tree

    While she was somewhere being free

    There's a man who sent a letter
    And he's waiting for her reply
    He has asked her of her travels
    Since the day they said goodbye
    He writes wish you were beside me
    We could make it if we try

    He has seen her at the office

    With her name on all his papers

    Through the sharing of the profits

    He will find it hard to shake her from these memories

    And she's so busy being free

    There's a lady in the city
    And she thinks she loves them all
    There's the one who's thinking of her
    There's the one who sometimes calls
    There's the one who writes her letters

    With his facts and figures scrawl

    She has brought them to her senses

    They have laughed inside her laughter

    Now she rallies her defenses

    For she fears that one will ask her for eternity
    And she's so busy being free

    There's a man who sends her medals
    He is bleeding from the war
    There's a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store
    There's a drummer and a dreamer
    And you know there may be more

    She will love them when she sees them

    They will lose her if they follow

    And she only means to please them

    And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree

    While she's so busy being free

    Like a cactus tree

    Being free
