This one sucks.  Davey sent me some music and I wanted to write something that accompanied it.  Hey, I never said I was a good at lyrics/poems!  LOL. Does make me want to get the band back together, though. I'd sing my heart out on this one. Davey's music writing on the instrumental is pretty damn good.

 

Johnny Jones

 

Look at him,

Like a prow cresting a wave

Johnny Jones is on the stage

He leads the crowd like a minaret

Power greatest, after the sun has set

 

Hear his voice and song

All wanting to belong

Sing the chorus, sway to the beat

Burning within, an inner heat

Johnny cries out to the skies

Singing to the distant sunrise

 

Can you hear the hypnotic hymn?

 

He's live'n his dream

Leading them all in harmony

Doesn't matter if he's off-key

They're feeling the magic of it all

They all hear the same inner call

 

Hear him sing with his heart

Who cares about the chart?

Arms raised in the same rapture

Hearts and minds, does he capture

The more they sing, his pleasure grows

The song meanings, nobody knows

 

His name is Johnny Jones…
