Send "Our House" Ringtone to Cell

I'll light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
play your love songs all night long for me, only for me.

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good.
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the
sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you.

Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
now everything is easy cause of you and our la, la, la…

Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
now everything is easy cause of you and our

I'll light the fire, while you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.

    General Comment:indeed written about Joni Mitchell and Graham -
    the vase and flowers part is not just poetic license
    but a reality - in David Crosby's biography there
    is mention of this: that although Joni has for years
    been married to someone else, in a shelf niche
    high on the wall of her sitting room sits the vase
    which was a gift.....

    Memory:My dad used to sing this song all the time when I was a little girl. I just read that the writer of this song's girlfriend's name is Joni, which is my mother's name. It reminds me of being a little kid.

    General Comment:I always thought in the beginning it said
    I'll light the fire
    while you blaze the flowers
    that we bought today.

    General Comment:the hippie version of the american dream. he and his love have a big old rural house, they spend time picking flowers, playing music and staring in the fire, and just being in love. the singer's been through hard times, but now that he has his love, nothing will ever be hard again - "everything is easy" cause of her.

    this song is an irresistable sing-along, and the music, harmony and lyrical message make it absolutely divine.
