Claire & Johnny Lyrics by Chuck Brodsky

Color Came One Day

2004

Claire, she loves Johnny
And Johnny, he loves Claire
Of all the places we could start
It's as good as any right there
Johnny signed the order
They took his lovely Claire
They’re going to make her better
But it was more than he could bear
What other options were there?
What else could Johnny do?
She was the most beautiful woman
That Johnny ever knew
But Claire sometimes got ugly
She had Johnny in a vice
She could get so mean all of a sudden
After being so nice
Claire, she loves Johnny
And Johnny, he loves Claire
The way she was behaving
Johnny, he got scared
Sometimes it would be hours
That she would sit & stare
Some voice that wasn't her's would speak
But she just wasn’t there
Johnny felt so low down
He needed cheering up
He had to get out of the house
So he headed for the pub
That's where we got to talking
We had a pint or two
He asked if I might write a song about it
I said I'd see what I could do
Claire, she loves Johnny
And Johnny, he loves Claire
Even with her cussing at him
Lord, how she could swear
Even with her throwing things
Some that really hurt
Even when she'd speak
Those unspeakable words
Claire is being cared for
They keep her in a room
Under medication
Every day she's groomed
Sometimes she notices the flowers
Among whatever else she sees
And then she'll turn to Johnny
And ask, “Who brought me these?”
Claire, she loves Johnny
And Johnny, he loves Claire
Although she may deny it
Says what Johnny did wasn't fair
She tells Johnny she hates him
He strokes her lovely hair
Of all the places we could stop for now...
