The Waterboys - A girl called johnny - 2002 - remaster lyrics

I remember Johnny, hey Johnny come lately I remember her shoes like a ballerina A girl called Johnny Who changed her name when she Discovered her choice was To change or to be changed I remember a girl called Johnny Black as hell, white as a ghost "Don't talk about life and d**h" She said, "I've had enough of both" A girl called Johnny Who was not scared They'd have torn her to pieces but Who would dare? I remember a girl called Johnny The train came to town, boy, she got on it Without looking back, there was barely a word If she said goodbye, well I never heard But the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz Truth is in somebody else's hands And the house that a girl called Johnny built Is now just so much ashes and sand Ashes and sand Ashes and sand Ashes and sand
