Hunter — текст песни (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 cant come in"

You can sleep outside in the tool shed

Though a little rain comes in

Oh, I dont know you, youre a stranger

I dont know where youve been

"you cant come in here," said the keeper of the inn

"i dont want you in here," said the keeper of the inn.



But I couldnt 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

Hed 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

Hed be coming after me again

When I woke in the weary morning he was gone

When I woke in the weary morning, lord, he was gone
