I am glad you bought this up, Dave. Chinese Cafe is my favorite song on WTRF also. The sentence structure is sort of clumsy ... but it works! This line from Chinese Cafe pops into my head all too often as I experience the passing of time. Watching me, watching my mother, watching my daughter be a mother. It is a very poignant line for me. Then, again, this is the lovely talent of Joni ... writing poignant lines that one cannot get out of their head. I think Joni is a master at handling the passing of time with her lyrics.

I love these: "We look like our mothers did now When we were those kids' age- " Actually, this line should have said "We now look like our mothers did when we were those kids age". The sentence structure is confusing at first. However, that IS my favorite song on WTRF! Dave.
