My good friend John Lyrics

It's been too long since i last met my good friend John

Happiness one of his many shirts

He'd wear it every day my good friend John

No binding rules no written clause no

Meaningless promises no endless prose

He's been taking time

I've been wasting mine

Half is left to redefine

He would sit and dwell on the morning dew

He was just passing through where others fell

He could change his ways but he would not dismiss

That he so dearly missed the good old days

I do recall the one true thing about John

It was either all or it was none

In the dead of night burns a candle bright

And the visions of my good friend John
