Cactus Tree - 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

And she is so 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
Three thousand 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

a There's man who's sent a letter
And he's waiting for reply

He has asked her of her travels
Since the day they said goodbye

He writes, "Wish you were beside me
We can 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 his memory

And she's off somewhere 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
And 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

While she's much too busy being free

There's a man who sends her medals
He is bleeding from the war
And 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
