Joni Mitchell
Hunter - Blue Sessions
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I brought him bread and a blanket
But I told him "You can't come in here"
You can sleep outside in the tool shed
Though a little rain comes in
Well, I don't know you, you're a stranger to me
No, 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

[Verse 3]
But I couldn't sleep for the thinking
You know my night got so insane
I thought, maybe hе was an angel
And I left him out in the rain
And what if hе 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
[Verse 4]
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
When I woke in the morning, he was gone
