Imagining John Lyrics by Joustene Lorenz

2020

Imagining John

1
Sleeping on the train to New Orleans
Rhythm of the rails and I had a dream
Strange fruit hanging in the southern breeze—
New Orleans!

Oh John
I was so alone ‘til I heard your songs

2
Trying to catch a bus to New York City
People in the streets dying without pity
They made you a god then they shot you down—
New York!

Oh John
You were long gone before I was born

3
Stepping off the plane to London Town
Going back in time to the Mersey sound
Factories are closed and there's no-one around—
London Town!

Oh John
Is there anybody left to remember your songs?

4
The roads to Heaven have all been closed
We’re all hiding from the things we know—

Oh John
Where in the world did we go wrong?

Oh John
Oh John!
