Johnny

You've been away
So long, so long
Now my hair is grey
And so long, so long
Your face continued to burn
Long after the lamp was dry
Sometimes there'd be a fog horn
Deep in the night I'd hear it cry
Johnny, Johnny
Standing above me
Hold me, Johnny
I've given my heart to you
See my face in the light
The lines recite the hopeless nights
But you look just the same
As the day we met, I'll never forget
You fed me a fig from your hands
My master, the moon was high
Feeling the heavens expand
Deep in your arms I would sigh
Johnny, Johnny
Standing above me
Hold me, Johnny
I've given my heart to you
Raise me up, Johnny
Crush me, enfold me
Is that you Johnny
I've given my heart to you
I've given my heart to you
I've given my heart to you
