Johnny Songtext
von Tin Drum

Johnny found the note inside his pocket
The cross he bears today
A gold and silver locket
That she threw away
Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same
But now he′s got to make her
The only one to blame

Johnny wants to get out of this town
But every time he tries he turns around

Still so far away
He keeps looking for the words he wants to say
Still so far away
It won't be long before she′s gone to stay


Johnny wants to know if God can see him
Can he feel his pain
Can he stop the memory
From driving him insane
If he just could reach her
To try an change her mind
But now she's found a new love
And she no longer cries

Johnny needs to get out of this town
But every step he takes just ties him down

Still so far away
He keeps looking for the words he wants to say
Still so far away
It won't be long before she′s gone to stay
