GOANNA BAND

Lyrics

Jinny can you see those bright lights flashin’ blindin’ up ahead
sayin’ ‘Paradise!’ but it’s just illusion
somewhere down that road you’ll find someone
who for a time will be like heaven to yr’ heart
to find someone who understands
for we were shaped by circumstance
goin’ wrong to get it right
child!
they’ve been takin’ no care of you at all
so you burn your bridges while you can
suffer the cruel heart of man
turn to hear the distant thunder cry
Jinny can you hear those warnin’ voices calling from behind
sayin’ ‘Hesitate!’ but who can wait forever
down the lonely miles of deep conviction
anger burns within
they decorate you with their disillusion
feed you with their fear continued
but disregard their fancy talkin’
straight ahead and say ‘Goodbye!’
child!
they’ve been takin’ no care of you at all
it’s not what you had organised
bargained and you compromised
wound up on some unfamiliar shore
Jinny take a hard line
’cause Jinny these are hard times
we’re strangers to a world we’re livin’ in
we could fight forever and you know we’d never win
oh child! (gotta carry on)
Jinny can you see those dark eyes starin’ dangerous and dread
could be ‘Babylon’ sister to confusion
where hardened men have sharpened barbs to hang fair words upon
see how blindly they divide and they’ll catch you every time
but leave ’em with their fancy talkin’
straight ahead and say ‘Goodbye!’
child!
we could never try and never know
but 1 want to take your trembling hand
walk across this holy land
I’ve seen heaven shinin’ in your eyes
and I’ve got to celebrate
