I wander within me back to an earlier time About twelve years old, not yet ready to live Often alone and lost, frozen inside myself Often lay awake at night, afraid of life Life seemed like a boomerang, Who's gonna hit me with three Penalties every time I made a wish roll When I was that lonely, she came to me Sat down at the piano just for me And played beautifully: "You've got a friend" Stroke me gently over my hair Was just there for me Held me out with my whole soul robe Ooh Carole King You and Tapestry That struck me full, these splendid melodies You taught me to Listen carefully You’re definetly my Musical Mother for me You put melodies in my head But I still couldn't think of words My language: Shallow and gray The first lyrics: Kitschy and tepid Then I was fifteen, hanging out with my stoner boyfriend On the turntable "Horses" spinning around And I thought, "Damn, she's pronouncing it" I read her poems, she whispered to me The pictures in my ears, she opened the door for me To the poetry To words that caress, to phrases that cry, To rhymes in which the world shakes for a moment And everything Dead rises again Ooh Patti Smith Through you my soul finally spoke to me I developed a sense for word and a feeling for language My first lyrics on the wall As written by a magic hand You’re definitely my Musical Mother for me Now I had the sounds and the lyrics But one instrument was missing until the end I often lay on my bed Just hum along in my mind Until one day, my fat neighbor friend Put a guitar around my neck And showed me how the easiest chords go A year later he put in a movie of you You sang to your guitar all by yourself You had a very unique way Of plucking and picking up chords I didn't know about your early handicap. And took your play with me into my warm bed Yes I was playfully seduced by you Ooh Joni Mitchell You taught me That I do not slavishly listen to brave guitar teachers That I can be inventive My very own guitar sound You`re definitely my Musical Mother for me Oh Carole Oh Patti Oh Joni You are Yes you are My Musical Mothers for me
