I'm sorry you couldn't make it
|
You could have seen him, so weathered and dated
|
He was a Johnny Come Lately
|
And I know that you would hate him
|
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
|
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit
|
He was a Johnny Come Lately
|
And I know that you would hate me
|
If I envied the things that he spoke of
|
How I envied the things that he thought of
|
He was a Johnny Come Lately
|
And I know that you would hate me
|
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
|
To find out how to make a garden grow
|
Where the sun no longer shines
|
If I asked too many questions and I stayed behind
|
To find out how to make a garden grow
|
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil
|
He didn't need us, just tempted and teased us
|
You could have been here, wishing you were here
|
This was a Johnny Come Lately
|
And I know that you would hate me
|
He was a Johnny Come Lately
|
And I know that you would hate me
|
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
|
To find out how to make a garden grow
|
Where the sun no longer shines
|
He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound
|
But I must have cast them all on stony ground
|
And now the sun won't shine
|
I must have asked too many questions D
|
And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow
|
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil.
