黒いカラス

There's a crow flying / Black and ragged / Tree to tree / He's black as the highway that's leading me / Now he's diving down / To pick up on something / shiny / I feel like that black crow / Flying / In a blue sky
I took a ferry to the highway / Then I drove to a pontoon plane / I took a plane to a taxi / And a taxi to a train / I've been traveling so long / How'm I ever going to know my home / When I see it again / I'm like a black crow flying / In a blue, blue sky
In search of love and music / My whole life has been / Illumination / Corruption / And diving, diving, diving, diving. / Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing / Just like that black crow flying / In a blue sky
I looked at the morning / After being up all night / I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light / I looked out the window / And I saw that ragged soul take flight / I saw a black crow flying / In a blue sky
Oh I'm like a black crow flying / In a blue sky
Joni Mitchell「Black Crow」)

奇しくもこの時期に、『AIR』再プレイ。初プレイ時より、その世界の隅々までを見渡すことができたような気がする。終わってからジョニ・ミッチェルの「黒いカラス」が聴きたくなり、しばらく何度も聴き返していた。
