Hunter (Blue Sessions) - Joni Mitchell

Composed by：Joni Mitchell

I was alone and sickly

It was a quarter of a moonlit night

I heard him cry through my window shade

And it filled me so full of fright

But I could not turn my back on him

I put on the back porch light

Can I help you said the good samaritan

Can I help you said the good samaritan

I brought him bread and a blanket

But I told him you can't come in

You can sleep outside in the tool shed

Though a little rain comes in

Oh I don't know you you're a stranger

I don't know where you've been

You can't come in here said the keeper of the inn

I don't want you in here said the keeper of the inn

But I couldn't sleep for the thinking

You know my night got so insane

I thought maybe he was an angel

And I left him out in the rain

And what if he was the devil

He'd be coming after me again

But when I woke in the weary morning he was gone

When I woke in the weary morning he was gone

I thought maybe he was an angel

And I left him out in the rain

And what if he was the devil

He'd be coming after me again

When I woke in the weary morning he was gone

He was gone

He was gone

He was gone

He was gone

He was gone

I woke in the morning

He was gone
