Look out the left, the captain said
The lights down there that's where we'll land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one
That you can wish upon
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailors
Oh starbright starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Now I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh blackness blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine
Oh starbright starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing Goodbye baby
Baby Goodbye
Ooh ooh love is blind
Up go the flaps down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again baby
Starbright starbright
You got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
The lights down there that's where we'll land

Nazareth with their version might be the following act.

Agreed. She is so tedious.
Every song of hers sounds the same. Most overrated female singer ever.
Thank goodness for the skip button.

How can this masterpiece be rated only a 6?

Yes; she hasn't done very many cover versions. Nazareth had a hit with their cover of this tune though.
Joni's song-writing defines her, but occasionally she'll pick up a song that is special to her, like 'Twisted' and 'You're So Square'

There are Joni songs even more divine-- so this gets only a 9, with apologies
Fun piece of musical art

The Nazareth version of this song (which really rocks) was my introduction to Joni.
Good Morning Joni
