Home, it’s so far away now
Pure chance, it’s so far away now
My wife was soft, the mountain was hard
Her skin was smooth the rocks were scarred
There were voices singing above in the sky
As I followed them up I was prepared to die
Now troubles are many, they’re as deep as a well
I can swear there ain’t no heaven but I pray there ain’t no hell
Swear there ain’t no heaven and I pray there ain’t no hell
But I’ll never know by living, only my dying will tell
Yes, only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell
Sing me a song, you’re a singer
Do me a wrong, you’re a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you’re a taker
So it’s on and on and on, it’s heaven and hell
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ all right
Let it be beautiful when I sing the last song
I will give you even my body, Spirit walker
Let all the children kiss the sun before they sing their last song
I will give you even my body, Spirit walker
This is the last song I’ll ever sing for you
You’ll come looking for the light
And it won’t be there
But I love you
Oh yes I do
Yes I do
Just what the truth is
I can’t say any more
'Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
I’m begging you for some sign, but you’ve still got nothing to say
Don’t turn your back on me, don’t walk away
I’m a better man now than I was that day.
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her
Not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love in my Chevy van
And that’s all right with me
Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin’ ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock
I have my books and my poetry to protect me,
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock, I am an island.
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between. How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
Sail on silver girl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.
With senses running wild we touched the sky, it looks like Heaven in my eyes
Moonlight medicine keeps me alive, don’t let your senses be denied
Won’t you shine, some light in my mind
The more I find, the more I need your medicine in my life
Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You’ve been living underground
Eating from a can
You’ve been running away
From what you don’t understand…
Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad,
Give me the biggest lecture I’ve ever had.
Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove
Johnny can pinball, Johnny can talk tough
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up
On Johnny Angel (Johnny Angel)
'Cause I love him (cause I love him)
And I pray that someday he’ll love me
And together we will see how lovely heaven will be
