Oh My Johnny (Banks Of The Roses) - Chasing Abbey

On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" When I was a young boy I heard me father say That he'd rather see me dead and buried in the clay Sooner than be married to any runaway By the lovely sweet banks of the roses On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" And then I am no runaway and soon I'll let them know That I can take a bottle or can leave it alone If her daddy doesn't like it, he can keep his daughter at home And young Johnny will go rovin' with some other On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" When I get married 'twill be in the month of May When the leaves they are green and the meadows they are gay And me and me true love we'll sit and sport and play By the lovely sweet banks of the roses On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me"

Ended up in London With bangs and bell bottom jeans Let me tell ya something It's really hard being 23 Life is never good enough I could always use one more thing A cigarette or a promise Either one will do for me You keep me up half the time I'm either drinking or I'm crying But no excuse of mine will be there when I'm dying I wish I could erase your face I wish I didn't know your name But a wish is as good as it gets And I'm the one who's faking Oh my god Is it all in my head Have you left me for dead Or am I dreaming? Good god Whyre these thoughts in my head Wouldn't wanna wind up dead Who's gonna keep me from reelin? Monday through Friday Blurry eyes see the signs Who I am on Sunday Will never see the light Keep an open mind they say It'll all make sense one day On the early morning Will the rain go away? I keep myself up half the time I'm either drinking or I'm crying & No excuse of yours will be there when I'm dying I wish I could just leave this place I wish everyone could know my face But a wish is as good as it gets And I'm the one who's faking Oh my god Is it all in my head Have you left me for dead Or am I dreaming? Good god Whyre these thoughts in my head Wouldn't wanna wind up dead Who's gonna keep me from reelin? Oh my god Is it all in my head Have you left me for dead Or am I dreaming? Good god Whyre these thoughts in my head Wouldn't wanna wind up dead Who's gonna keep me from reelin? Oh my God Who's gonna keep, who's gonna keep, keep me from reeling? Who's gonna keep, who's gonna keep, keep me from reeling? Who's gonna keep, who's gonna keep, keep me from reeling? Who's gonna keep, who's gonna keep, keep me from reeling? Oh my God is it all in my head? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I Safe? Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God

And you say that you love me (That's a nice thought) On the mountain say the word Be the wind that climbs this mountain Be the cloud that storms this heart I don't need a palace of flowers What's in a song? A song from far away Don't be afraid when it's not magic You are always in my heart Paint a picture just for me Carve our initials in our tree Give me kisses and bury me In roses up to my knees And you say we'll live forever In the mountains far from my home Just sing the song to hold us together Sing the song that's in your heart Paint a picture just for me Carve our initials in our tree Give me kisses and bury me In roses up to my knees

I am hungry I have been hungry I was born hungry What do I need? I am something I have been something I was born something What could I be? There is a light that I can see But only, it seems, when there's darkness in me There is a dream that I sometimes see That only appears in the dark of sleep I am waiting I have been waiting I was born waiting I was born waiting for that something Just one something I was born something I was born There is a light, I feel it in me But only, it seems, when the dark surrounds me There is a dream and it sleeps in me Keeps me awake in the night Crying, "Set me free" And I wake every night Crying, "Set me free"
