Johnny Come Back

Sometimes I go walking,
Sometimes I go wondering,
How could I waste more time?
Laughing at people who worry
Cause time passes by
Has there been a mistake?
Have I been a disgrace?
Did I let someone down somewhere?
Sometimes I go walking
Just to move through the air.
Johnny come back to America,
The family farm is falling down,
If only youd come back around,
These fields of green would rise again.
Do you think that you could lend a hand?
No one but you can work this land.
Youve always been a stubborn man,
But cant you compromise this time?
I hear every time
That you mention my name,
You curse me, you bless me
And leave me the blame.
If I were you I couldnt say
I would not do the same.
Understanding each other
Leaves things to discover,
You think that you know me well.
But I never told you
Everything that I had to tell.
I saw in the garden
You planted some roses,
Each one in my memory.
The garden you planted
Is my favorite place to be.
When you hear the wind whistle,
Its a tune that Ive written,
To let you know that Im near.
I can never return but for you
I will always be here.
