Lyrics Song For Johnny - Dougie MacLean

Song For Johnny

I still remember late Saint Vincent nights
When we were young and we were foolish
Let’s play another tune and dare to find ourselves
For really who are we?
But now that melody has danced away
I hear it sing across the ocean
On his way back home
For many weary miles we chased that tune
Shared the journey with the others
But it seems it hides under the silver moon
And its mystery still covers me
But now that melody has danced away
I hear it sing across the ocean
On his way back home
So we let another good friend go
And we break our hearts with wonder
And it seems we never learned to play it slow
We just danced inside the thunder
But now that melody has danced away
I hear it sing across the ocean
On his way back home
