Jordan Reyne - Johnny & the Sea paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson Johnny & the Sea - Jordan Reyne



It was two days ago when the skull and bones ship came in
And the shadows grew long as a shiver ran right through the evening
I head every door slam as I stood in the street and just stared
And the call of the sea rose up in my restless young ears
She said: Johnny come home, Johnny come home, Johnny, come home
And the ocean's as wild as I was as a boy, and she sings
Of fortune and change and the power of a young persons dreams
When I stand on the sea and the waves crash and howl out our names
It's through nausea and fear that we come to know how we are made
Johnny come home, Johnny come home, Johnny, come home
But at 7 years on I grew tired and started thinking of home
I romanticized fields and the cycles of seasons and farms
I arrived and I married and I wait for the roots to take hold
But I wake every night to the sound of the sea, so loud
She says: Johnny come home, Johnny come home, Johnny, come home
You forget how to swim once your life doesn't throw you too far
Like you hope that the land can still hold you, and keep you here, warm
But I hear and I see and I'm sick of the earth and its gaze
So I'm walking out once, I am walking out, into the waves
They say: Johnny come home, Johnny come home, Johnny, come home
