When I'm like a leaf in the wind you're an oak tree beside me
Lifting your branches to make sure I don't blow away
And when I'm like a rolling stone you're the Rock of Gibraltar
Steadfast and mighty and I ask myself every day
What did I ever do to deserve you Joanna
The warmth of your sweet lips the touch of your hand
What did I ever do to deserve your sweet loving
You took a baby and made him a man what did I ever do to deserve you Joanna
[ dobro ]
I wonder where I'd be right now if you hadn't found me
Asleep in a bunk gutter stoned nearly out of my mind
Instead I wake up every day to my own private rainbow
Wrapped in your sweet love askin' myself one more time
What did I ever do...
Joanna est aussi grosse qu’un éléphant
C’est la plus grosse de toute La Nouvelle-Orléans
Et pourtant
Joanna Joanna Joanna tu sais danser léger léger
Joanna est bien de la Louisiane
Quand elle suit un régime c’est un régime de bananes
Et pourtant
Joanna Joanna Joanna tu sais danser léger léger
Elle danse léger léger
Elle saute léger léger
Elle tourne léger léger
Elle s’envole léger léger
Joanna a un faible pour les tabourets
Elle en consomme deux ou trois dans la soirée
Et pourtant
Joanna Joanna Joanna tu sais danser
Léger léger
Joanna sits on her porch, what am I to do
I once was her boy but now we're done I'm feeling blue
I'm getting out this town, Starbucks drive-thru
I reach for my cash and only find pictures of you
Should I call or should I run?
Turn around or just move on?
Either choice I make I'm scared will still be wrong
Take, take, take it till I just can't take it from you (Joanna)
Fake, fake, fake it till I just can't make it with you (Joanna)
Say goodby a hundred times, but never see it through
The hardest way to say Joanna, I need you
Took a trip out west, went to Saskatoon
To clear all the thoughts in my head, the only thoughts I knew
Turned on the radio, a stupid thing to do
Cuz all the songs I hear remind me of you
They say that lvoe is more than a feeling
Please don't ask me what went wrong
I never planned it to come out like this
Silent moments, thoughtless words
I never wantedthese memories
Joanna
I love you so
Don't wait for me Joanna
I never meant to hurt you so
But now I have to let you go
Don't wait for me Joanna
I'll always say a prayer for you
And hope some day that you
Will found true love
When as children we used to play
We sat and wondered where we'd be today
I said we'd never be apart
But now we lie among the broken hearts
Joanna
I love you so
Don't wait for me Joanna
I never meant to hurt you so
But now I have to let you go
Don't wait for me Joanna
I'll always say a prayer for you
And hope some day that you
Will found true love
Don't wait, no no
Joanna
I can't let go, no
Don't walk away Joanna
I never meant to huert you so
But now I know I can't let you go
Don't walk away Joanna
I'll always say a prayer for you
And I hope that you will find
Remember me Joanna
We were only 17
You took me to places most teenagers had never been
We didn't need no room or bed because we had your car
I asked you if you'd marry me you said no cause one day I'll be a star
High school it was rough on me
I don't think that I was cool
Especially when you dumped me in front of everyone
You called me a fool
Said it's nothing personal
I just wasn't on par
How can I date a big fat loser when one day I'm gonna be a star
You graduated with honors Joanna
While I was on the five year plan
I swore I'd win you back Joanna
Things will be different when I become a man
College was much easier
There was a party every night
But everytime I kissed a girl I saw your face when I turned out the light
Now I'm in the work force I spend night time in a bar
And often when I think of you I wonder
Did you ever become a star
It was Dicky's bachelor party and everyone was there
Man I got so faded that I chipped my tooth when I fell down the stairs
Time for a private lap dance, it wasn't very far
You said Hi my names Joanna, I'm a 50 dollar an hour star
I remember in that play you looked at me in that funny way
I remember in that play give me the bomb, give me the bomb
I remember in that play you looked up at me in that lovely way
joanna i cant forget the one they call joanna
we own the summer hand in hand joanna
and now she"s always just a tear away
goodbye you-you long lost summer
leaving me behind you
repeating things for lovers
that may find you
i still hang on to every word that day
you passed my way
joanna you made the man a child again so sweetly
he breathed your smile
looked in your eyes completely
and on his heart theres still a trace of you
i loved you but nothing in this world could make you mine
yet still in time joanna
----joanna you may remember me and change your mind----musical break
i loved you but nothing in this world could make you mine
but still in time joanna
Well Jo'Anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don't care about the rest at all
She's got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure can make Jo'Anna see
How everybody could a live as one
Gimme hope, Jo'Anna
Hope Jo'Anna
Gimme hope, Jo'Anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'Anna
Hope Jo'Anna
Hope before the morning come
I hear she makes all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of another son
Sneakin' across all the neighbour's borders
Now and again having little fun
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone
Gimme hope ...
She's got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to thew city sun
Jo'Anna give them the fancy money
Oh, to tempt anyone who'd come
She even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazines and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo'Anna makes
They got a good explanation
Gimme hope ...
Even the preacher who works for jesus
The archbishop who's a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'Anna
I wanna hear the sound of drums
Can't you see that the tide is turning
Joanna looked at me and smiled. I dreamt about a child
She was twenty twenty eight.
With the longing so hard she couldn't wait
She felt frustrated that I wasn't ready
She started to cry then i walked away
Not saying goodbye
Along with the bay
Along with the bay
Exausted by the misery
She looked but couldn't see
The sadness made her unaware
Though the driver's too drugged to even care
He crunched, scorned and demolished her body
She died on his hand
Was it my fault? I miss you my Joanna
Along with the bay
Joanna would you understand
If black were really white
and baby could I have this dance?
Just say that that's alright,
I'm a little scared, understand,
I'll admit it, I'll admit it.
I better dance right, try not to lose it,
alright, try not to lose it again,
try not to lose it again.
I better dance right,
try not to lose it,
alright, try not to lose it again,
and if I lose it again,
and if I can't dance,
Joanna would you understand?
Joanna could you let it be,
would you be mine tonight?
And baby let the people see,
just say that that's alright.
I'm a little scared, understand
I'll admit it, I'll admit it.
I better dance right, try not to lose it,
alright, try not to lose it again,
try not to lose it again.
I better dance right, try not to lose it,
alright, try not to lose it again,
and if I lose it again,
and if I can't dance,
Joanna would you understand?
All children learn when the sun goes down,
All my friends learn when the sun goes down,
Joanna
I love you
you're the one
the one for me.
I'm in love and I won't lie
She's my girl and always on my mind.
She gives me her love and a feeling that's right.
Never let me down
'specially at night
So I'm gonna do the best I can
To please that girl and be her only man.
she picks me up when I'm feeling low
And that's why
baby
I've got to let you know.
Joanna
I love you
you're the one
the one for me
baby.
She's the one
the one for me
She's the kind of girl who makes you feel nice.
I try my best to do what's right
And take her for a ride - ev'rything's fine.
Joanna
I love you
you're the one for me
baby.
Search so far
search so long
To find someone
someone to count on.
Now I feel I got it right here
Found it in you
baby
you my dear.
We can do all life so nice
We'll have it all
and ev'rything will be alright!
I'm promissing you
take it from me
take it on
baby
Take it on
baby. - Oh
she's the one
the one for me.
She's the kind of girl who makes you feel nice.
So I try my best
to do what's right
Take her for a ride
ev'rything's fine.
Toanna
Joanna -
Joanna
I love you
you're the one
the one for me.
Joanna
I love you
you're the one
the one for me.
Joanna
(And the world goes round and round
and life goes up and down)
He is a wave and he's breaking
He's a problem to solve
And in that circle he's making
I will always revolve
And on his sight
These eyes depend
Invisible and indivisible
Chorus:
That fire you ignited
Good bad and undecided
Burned when I stand beside it
Your light is ultraviolet
Visions so insane
They travel unraveling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
Your light is ultraviolet
Now is a phase and it's changing
It's rotating us all
Thought we were safe but we're dangling
Now it's too far to survive the fall
And this I know
It will not bend
Invisible indivisible
Chorus:
That fire you ignited
Good bad and undecided
Burned when I stand beside it
Your light is ultraviolet
Visions so insane
They travel unraveling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
I've been spending too much time
Defending and denying
All my doubts and my suspicion
It's my gentle disposition
But this person that I met
That I like so much I said
Won't you come into my life
Now he's showing a different side
I can't seem to wake up, wise up and walk away
But I can't stay and watch him fade
Chorus:
I want to tip toe through your mind
Dance with the stranger locked behind those eyes
I'm gonna slip right under your clothes
I want you to drive me to the edge of your soul
Cause I can't feel, I can't love, I can't hold...
Someone I don't know
There's still a moment in your smile
That if you hold for just a while
Is like a window to the past
To a day I thought we'd last
But every night your empty gaze
Drags you further down the maze
And I won't follow I won't fight
When it's so easy to just hide
I can't seem to wake up, wise up, and walk away
But I can't wait and watch him break
Chorus:
I want to tip toe through your mind
Dance with the stranger locked behind those eyes
I'm gonna slip right under your clothes
I want you to drive me to the edge of your soul
Cause I can't feel, I can't love, I can't hold...
Someone I don't know
I can't feel ya, I can't love ya, I can't hold you
Little sister a few months old
Died in the crib it smelled so bad
Survived on the neighbors' milk you stole
Never knew mom and you never saw dad
Lost in foster home confusion
In your eyes, love's just an illusion
Defensive all your life
Wish I could make it all a lie
And say its just OK
And make it go away
CHORUS: You, you can lay down mama
Let me be your cover
Let me be your mother
You, you can break down
Cause I know that you can take it
Wish I could explain it
It's just this crazy life
It's just this crazy life
Just 18 had your first child
You were beaten, abused, and torn
Five years on when the paper's filed
Still you never knew when you were born
So mama tell me a bedtime story
Say a little prayer so not to worry
Make a wish up in the air
Say a word and I'll be there
To make it all OK
To make it go away
CHORUS: You, you can lay down mama
Let me be your cover
Let me be your mother
You, you can break down
Cause I know that you can take it
Wish I could explain it
It's just this crazy life
It's just this crazy life
I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home
[1.]
I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.
I'm reading your note over again
There's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
"I will love you always and forever."
[2.]
Well As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone
Making out.
I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you 're pretending.
[1.]
I am alone
In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home
I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have speak, and
This bottle of beast is taking me home.
[2.]
Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.
Breath you out
Breath you in
You keep coming back to tell me
You're the one who could have been
And my eyes see it all so clear
It was long ago and far away but it never disappears
I try to put it in the past
Hold on to myself and don't look back
I don't wanna dream about
All the things that never were
Maybe I can live without
When I'm out from under
I don't wanna feel the pain
What good would it do me now
I'll get it all figured out
When I'm out from under
So let me go
Just let me fly away
Let me feel the space between us growing deeper
And much darker every day
Watch me now and I'll be someone new
My heart will be unbroken
It will open up for everyone but you
Even when I cross the line
It's like a lie I've told a thousand times
I don't wanna dream about
All the things that never were
Maybe I can live without
When I'm out from under
I don't wanna feel the pain
What good would it do me now
I'll get it all figured out
When I'm out from under
And part of me still believes
When you say you're gonna stick around
And part of me still believes
We can find a way to work it out
But I know that we tried everything we could try
So let's just say goodbye
Forever
I don't wanna dream about
All the things that never were
Maybe I can live without
When I'm out from under
I don't wanna feel the pain
What good would it do me now
I'll get it all figured out
When I'm out from under
I don't wanna dream about
All the things that never were
Maybe I can live without
When I'm out from under
I don't wanna feel the pain
What good would it do me now
I'll get it all figured out
When I'm out from under
Looking just to lay my head
Upon the bed
Everything is out of control
Doesn't anyone know?
Reality is scaring me
It's hard to breathe
And sometimes in the dead of the night
I just break down and cry
Chorus:
All all we want is a miracle
To walk right through the door
All all we ever wanted is a miracle
A miracle
Craving for a way to escape
Ordinary days
Terrified to walk out the door
Will I regret what's instore?
Well can't you see you're telling
Everyone you're doing fine
And some, somehow we stopped believing
Now all we do is run and hide
Chorus again
Bridge:
Maybe someday things will start to change
And maybe somehow we will break the chain
One by one gotta pick up the pieces
Everyone's trying not to fall apart
All we're going through
All we're gonna lose
I'm keeping my faith
God, it's all I can do
Hoping everything doesnt't come undone
Praying just to carry--carry on
Verse 1:
Every little kiss I tend to hold
Precious in my heart you’ve turned to gold
Love’s not the word to explain
Just how I feel
It seemed like a dream but I’m wide-awake
And like the earth inside it made me shake
Like a summer fairytale, but it was real
B-Section:
You set off a brand new kind of spark inside of me
And I wouldn’t leave your lips even to breathe
Chorus:
The first time I saw you, you were lighting up the sky
Like bright flashing fireworks on the 4th of July
I won’t forget and I don’t regret
Losing myself deep inside of your eyes
That night I’ll remember for the rest of my life
Verse 2:
I cherish all the moments that we spent
I only wish it never had to end
I can take a journey in my mind to yesterday
I’ll use the moon and stars to guide me there
A place so far away but yet so near
Just to hold you one more time, I’d be ok
B-Section:
You set off a brand new kind of spark inside of me
And I wouldn’t leave your lips even to breathe
Chorus:
The first time I saw you, you were lighting up the sky
Like bright flashing fireworks on the 4th of July
I won’t forget and I don’t regret
Losing myself deep inside of your eyes
That night I’ll remember for the rest of my life
Bridge:
I feel I left my world, my life, my breath behind
But I know the sun will shine on through
Cause I know that again I’ll see you
This can’t be goodbye
We’ll meet again on the 4th of July
Chorus:
The first time I saw you, you were lighting up the sky
Like bright flashing fireworks on the 4th of July
I won’t forget and I don’t regret
Losing myself deep inside of your eyes
It's a touch without feelings
It's a kiss without love
It's the faith that we're losin and the truth that we hide
It's a tear without cryin
It's a word with no sound
It's my heart full of sorrow and a lover left behind
Keep me from fallin from fallin...(you gotta set me free)
Keep me from cryin from cryin... (and now it's clear to see)
I'm leavin i'm leavin...(that it's time to let me be)
Let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when i say goodbye
But the time has come, let me spread my wings
It's time to let me fly
Let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when i say goodbye ...but the time has come
Let me spread my wings...it's time to let me fly
It's a room full of silence
It's a day without light
Well anger keeps risin, and there's nothing left to say
Put your face at the window
It's the world passing by
And the life that we shared and the love that belonged
Turned to pain along the way
Keep me from fallin from fallin...(you gotta set me free)
Keep me from cryin from cryin... (and now it's clear to see)
I'm leavin i'm leavin...(that it's time to let me be)
Let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when i say goodbye
But the time has come, let me spread my wings
It's time to let me fly
Let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when i say goodbye ...but the time has come
Let me spread my wings...it's time to let me fly
Yeah, yeah
Slide...slide....slide....
Comeon baby let it slide
Slide slide slide
Comeon baby let it slide
Let it slide
I know it hurts when i say goodbye
But the time has come let me spread my wings...
Time to let me fly
Comeon baby let it slide
I know it hurts when i say goodbye
The time has come to let me spread my wings it's time to let me fly
Let it slide let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when i say goodbye but
Wonderin' who I would be
If you were sleeping next to me
Would this room feel alive?
Empty walls are closing in
Feel your breath dance on my skin
Shut the doors in my mind
You never know what you might find
When you fly like life
Like life is blind
Chorus:
I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna wait and let it break me
(Sleep and let it wake me)
All I know is that I can't breathe
(I can see)
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me
I don't know, I don't know
Just let go
Wonderin' what I would say
If I permit myself to change
Let you live in my eyes
I'll do my best to not behave
Fearlessly I'll be afraid
Never walk a straight line
You never know what you might find
When you fly like life
Like life is blind
Chorus:
I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna wait and let it break me
(Sleep and let it wake me)
All I know is that I can't breathe
(I can see)
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me
I don't know, I don't know
Just let go
It's time to let go
It's time to let it go
It's time to let it go
You never know what you might find
I'm watching you
Turning Away
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
To yesterday
I know I was wrong
I made a mistake
Now the only one I love
Is going away
Chorus:
Just when you're leaving
Just when you're leaving
If I could find the words to say
That would make you stay
Just when you're leaving
Just when you're leaving
I played you
Just like a game
But this player plays the fool
At the end of the day
I know that I've changed
I wish I had proof
Wish that I could make you see
What I'm going through
Chorus:
Just when you're leaving
Just when you're leaving
If I could find the words to say
That would make you stay
Just when you're leaving
Just when you're leaving
I wish that you would understand
But I don't understand myself
I iwsh that you would take my hand
And see that there is no one else
Chorus:
Just when you're leaving
Just when you're leaving
If I could find the words to say
That would make you stay
Just when you're leaving
All the corners of my tainted heart are taken
Can you handle being second to my integrity?
Won't apologize I'm selfish and I own it
Don't take it personal cause that's just me
Oh baby that's just me
Chorus:
I'm a drifter (ooh)
I'm conflicted (ooh)
I'm addicted to being on my own
I'm a drifter who's sick and twisted
Who won't listen to anyone but me
So what's it gonna be?
All my bags are packed
The car is outside waiting
Now I'm questioning the promises of yesterday
And if tomorrow comes too fast
I won't be jaded
Got both feet planted
Standing tall, that's where I'll be
Oh baby that's just me
Chorus:
I'm a drifter (ooh)
I'm conflicted (ooh)
I'm addicted to being on my own
I'm a drifter who's sick and twisted
Who won't listen to anyone but me
So what's it gonna be?
And my mind is drifting everyday
You can try to catch me anyway
Just don't be mad the morning after
Cause I might keep on running faster
And faster
Day after day I danced in your shade
My smile hid the pain
And I stored it away
As your credits rolled by
I stood as your prize
But I was craving so much more
Oh I was wasting away
Tell me why oh tell me why
Is it easier to hurt myself
Than simply say
Chorus:
I don't love you,
I don't need you,
I don't want to understand
Saying you love me
Makes it too easy
You can't fix me this time
Cause I'm broken
Oooh broken, we're broken
Night after night
I thought I could lie
But it was burning a hole
Chorus:
I don't love you,
I don't need you,
I don't want to understand
Saying you love me
Makes it too easy
You can't fix me this time
Cause I'm broken
Oooh broken, we're broken
I should feel guilty but I don't
We should stop, but we won't
Love it complicated always
In your eyes I see the pain
Boy you know I feel the same
Gonna be your obsession
Gonna be what you're living for can't live without
Gonna be your obsession
Gonna be the only thing you think about
I'll be like your reflection
You'll find that you'll never get rid of me
I'll make a strong impression
Gonna bring you to your knees
Chorus:
I'm gonna mess you up so bad
I'm gonna drive you completely crazy
Be the best thing you ever had
I'll make you love me
I'll make you love me
Gonna be your obsession
You're gonna think of nothing
Nothing but my touch
Gonna be your obsession
Gonna be addicted to me like a drug
Gonna get your attention
I'm gonna make sure that you're in too deep
Your heart will be my possession
Gonna give it all to me
Chorus:
I'm gonna mess you up so bad
I'm gonna drive you completely crazy
Be the best thing you ever had
I'll make you love me
I'll make you love me
I'm gonna wreck your best laid plans
I'll make it so you just can't escape me
Be the best thing you ever had
I'll make you love me
I'll make you love me
You're gonna wish for the taste of my kisses
You're gonna long for me everynight
And every day
Don't even try to resist
Ontem te encontrei
Você estava tão bonita
Demais
Parecia até que nada aconteceu
Jeito de quem está feliz
De quem está de bem com a vida
Sei lá
Mais alguma coisa não me convenceu
E ainda faz de conta que não está nem ai pra mim
Mas você não me engana, sei que você ainda tá a fim
Me diz pra que fazer assim
Você pode ter um tempo pra pensar
E uma eternidade pra se arrepender
Tá na cara, dá pra ver no seu olhar
Tô fazendo muita falta pra você
É loucura não avisar o coração
Desse jeito a gente pede pra sofrer
Eu não quero te ver na solidão
Tõ fazendo muita falta pra você.
Tõ fazendo falta... Tõ fazendo falta...
On the first day at school
Everybody knew
Joanna was hot
Still she was a lady
(Oh, Joanna)
She had a way in everything she’d say
So they’d all be hypnotized
But I realized
She was a girl that always had attention
That is why I could not let on my intention
Joanna, we’re gonna
Touch the sky some night
One by one
Everybody tried
For Joanna’s heart
Me, I just waited
(for Joanna)
And just for fun
She kept them on the run
Oh, Joanna was smart
Still she was a lady
I used to watch
Those fools, those fools, those fools
How they waited after school
Me, I kept my cool
Joanna, we’re gonna
Touch the sky some night
Took some time
Until they all struck out
She couldn’t see why
I didn’t try
(oh, Joanna)
Eventually she came on to me
Oh, Joanna was hot
And I got my shot
She’s a girl who always had attention
That is why I couldn’t let on my intention
Joanna, we’re gonna
Touch the sky tonight
joanna
you burn me like fire
joanna
you're my only desire
when i'm lost in the dark
you come right back for me
so i'd rather
never give the time
to some other flea
i never want another girl
i never want another girl
if all you need is to be sure
i never want another girl
joanna i see you're the one meant for me
if you never had the time to see
how perfect we'd be
i'd be lost and alone
i'd be all on my own
oh joanna i promise i'm the one you need, oh
i never want another girl
i never want another girl
if all you need is to be sure
(Hans Unterweger)
Schon früh am Morgen, du hast keine Zeit
Kaffee getrunken, du bist schon bereit,
der Weg zur Arbeit, schon alles geplant,
- und die Zeit, die vergeht
Kein Gruß, kein Lächeln, alle weichen dir aus,
dein Blick wird hektisch - was macht das schon aus,
zu Mittag fast food - denn Essen muß sein,
- und die Zeit vergeht, bald ist es zu spät
Oh, Joanna - ja in deiner Welt,
oh, Joanna - da regiert nur dein Geld
oh, Joanna - ja ich hab dich gestellt
oh, Joanna, oh Joanna
Keine Zeit für Freunde, die Arbeit geht vor
Keine Zeit für Kinder, die stören ja nur
Keine Zeit für dich selbst, du merkst es nicht mehr
- und dein Blick ist so leer.
Du siehst die andern und denkst dir wieso,
gehts denen besser, die sind glücklich und froh
Du baust 'nen Panzer, ganz fest um dein Herz
- doch ich spür deinen Schmerz ganz tief drin im Herz
Oh, Joanna - ja in deiner Welt,
oh, Joanna - da regiert nur dein Geld
oh, Joanna - ja ich hab dich gestellt
This is a fight song
But without the violence
Dance it off so we can
Get off, watching
Each and every move
(It's so cold ?) and sad and cheap
Joanne is working
her charm with the concierge
She looks, damn good
makes me wish we were the only ones in the room
I'm walking
Two steps behind you
And you're waiting
For the quiet ride that never comes
Do I have to remind you
My choice of words will be (?)
With William to my right side
Singing Soco Amaretto Lime
This is a fight song
But without the violence
Dance it off so we can
Get off, watching
Each and every move
(It's so cold ?) and sad and cheap
Joanne is working
her charm with the concierge
Light spotlights on her flaws
(As you ?) wished you were the only ones in the room
I'm walking
Two steps behind you
And you're waiting
For the quiet ride that never comes
Do I have to remind you?
'Cos if I have to remind you
My choice of words will be (?)
I'll ask him, to ask her
And he'll say
Ask her yourself
But I want her, to ask me
To ask me, ask me, ask me
I thought we were so close
Joanna
I can't forget the one they call Joanna
We owned the summer, hand in hand Joanna
And now she's always just a tear away
Goodbye you, you long lost summer
Leaving me behind you
Revealing things for lovers that may find you
I still hang on to every word that day, you passed my way
Joanna
You made the man a child again, so sweetly
He breathed your smile
Lived in your eyes completely
And on his heart there's still a trace of you
I love you but nothing in this world could make you mine
Yet still in time
Joanna
Joanna, you may remember me and change your mind
Joanna!
(Instrumental)
I love you but nothing in this world could make you mine
Yet still in time
Joanna
She was a raven-haired restless drunkard's daughter
With skinny legs so long and dark and brown
And she believed all the things the Bible taught her
'Til she changed her mind and busted outta town
Sailed down the black mountain trail to meet her lover
A no-good gambler the law called "One-Eyed Jack"
From that cruel summer he never will recover
'Cause he don't reckon she's ever coming back
She hitched her life to a rusty El Dorado
And let the warm wind blow across her bones
And in the night you can hear someone cryin'
Joanna won't you please come home
She was a raven-haired restless drunkard's daughter
The knid of hero you need at seventeen
A wild rose that went searching for some water
There's a special girl I want in my world,
Her name is Joanna
She's the only one for me, and it drives me insane.
I thought it was a game, a little bit of pain
In my eyes
But baby now you've had all your fun,
So let's move it on.
So don't keep on saying no,
Don't keep on saying go 'cause
Joanna I need you Joanna
Well can't you see that it's true
I need you Joanna.
Step inside my car an' I'll give you a ride pretty baby
Let me guide you through the night,
Keep the bad guys away.
Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you girl, I promise,
I will play the games you like, but let's move it on.
So don't keep on saying no,
Don't keep on saying go 'cause
Joanna I need you Joanna
Well can't you see that it's true
I need you Joanna.
Joanna I need you Joanna
I bet that you want me too, yeah
