MANASSAS lyrics - Johnny's Garden

There's a place

I can get to

Where I'm safe

From the city blues

And its green

And its quiet

Only trouble was

I had to buy it

And I'll do anything

I got to do

Cut my hair and

Shine my shoes



[Chorus:]

And keep on

Singin' the blues



If I can stay here

In Johnny's garden

As the swift bird

Flies over the grasses

Dipping now and then

To take his breakfast

Thus I come and go

And I travel

And I can watch that bird

And unravel



[Chorus]



With his love

And his carin'

He puts his life

Into beauty sharin'

And his children

Are his flowers

There to give us peace

In quiet hours



[Chorus]
