Johnny's Lament

Sometimes at night when I hear the wind
I wish I was crazy again
Fallen off the edge of something far away from here
6 A.M. and the dawn's just getting in
All drizzling rain and sleepy business men
And I don't see how I will sleep tonight

So I lie on my back and wait for the sun
A watercolor morning bringing roses for the dawn
I send this out to everyone
Every soul who ever lay awake all night
The world is black and white
Waiting for the morning to come

Sometimes at night when I smell the rain
I dream that I am lost again
Running towards the edge of someplace far away from her
Whisky and Adrenaline
Snow white and the seven deadly sins
We crawled out of that hole towards the light

Now I lie on my back and wait for the sun
A watercolor morning bringing roses for the dawn
I send this out to everyone
Every soul who ever lay awake all night
The world is black and white
Waiting for the morning to come
