When I was young I had a friend |
| [00:26.991] |
Father said she was make-pretend |
| [00:29.501] |
Joanna was her name and life was innocence |
| [00:34.520] |
Doctors tried to claw her out |
| [00:37.028] |
And pills tried to push her down |
| [00:39.790] |
She was part of me, she came back again |
| [00:44.054] |
But not before long |
| [00:46.564] |
When all was said and done |
| [00:48.822] |
I knew that it was really her and me |
| [00:54.093] |
The boys in the crowd |
| [00:56.602] |
They said they’d beat her out |
| [00:59.111] |
They’d exorcise this little witch in me |
| [01:04.379] |
By the time that all |
| [01:07.642] |
The teachers had arrived |
| [01:10.154] |
It was too late |
| [01:12.910] |
They bludgeoned her to death |
| [01:15.419] |
Outside the gate |
| [01:17.678] |
She slipped away |
| [01:19.184] |
Into the summer rain |
| [01:22.697] |
And never was the same |
| [01:29.221] |
Oh Joanna dear |
| [01:32.733] |
I thought this song would make you disappear |
| [01:37.751] |
And banish you somehow |
| [01:40.262] |
Though as I sing it now |
| [01:42.771] |
I hear your voice so loud |
| [01:47.784] |
So there can be no doubt |
| [01:52.803] |
That somehow you crept out |
