Johnny and June Lyrics

Well I'm a Peter Pan backwards troubadour clown with a stopwatch on my knee

I went and left the circus because I don't know how to juggle and an acrobat just ain't me

I can fix a couple tires, give me sticks I'll make a fire, give me time and I can part the sea

I can take some things apart and I can put them back together, but don't expect much from me

Well she's a renaissance man and she holds my hand, and she tells me things I don't know

When the weather looks good and I think I should, I love to go and watch her show

I think I'm going crazy because she's covered up in daisies from her head down to her toe

When things are getting moving I remember that I'm human, I feel it when the cold wind blows

Imagine what you'd do if everything was up to you, maybe then you'd have the spark to make them see

Well Johnny knew June had to go real soon, so he held in all his tears

He fastened his tie and he tightened his laces while his whole world disappeared

Leave it all to life to come and blow out all your candles and reaffirm your damn worst fears

See it's never quite a friend, but it's out of your hands and it's always gonna be right here
