Nothing Can Be Done — Joni Mitchell

Music by larry klein words by joni mitchell

Must I forgive you

Each time

And say you dont know what yourre doing

There are no victimless crimes

I know of

Out here in these graffiti ruins

My love

Oh I am not old

Im told

But I am not young

Oh and nothing can be done

Dont start

My heart

Is a smoking gun

Oh and nothing can be done

I heard you leaving

Late last night

I heard you screaming down the mountain

Like you were running red lights

(red lights)

You had some trash-can-rock-band pounding

Oh I am not old

Im told

But I am not young

Oh and nothing can be done

Dont start

My heart

Is a smoking gun

Oh and nothing can be done

Must I surrender

With grace

The things I loved when I was younger

(sweet embrace)

Must I remember your face

So well

What do I do here with this hunger

Oh I am not old

Im told

But I am not young

Oh and nothing can be done

Dont start

My heart

Is a smoking gun

Oh and nothing can be done

Nothing can be done

Nothing can be done

Oh nothing can be done
