Jeannie

Jeannie, all of the lights are down
Look far away from town;
There's a star in the sea
Winking at me.

Jeannie, you say it's the end of the line
All of the promises,
All of the jokes and the crimes,
All our good times.

You'd better run around the corner;
Never, never look back.
Don't begin to wonder,
Never, never back track
I'll be following you.
I'll be following you.
Never never look back
I'm right behind you.

Jeannie, look at the waves on the shore
Roll up and beaten down,
Still, they come back for more;
They've been here before.

You'd better run around the corner;
Never, never look back.
Don't begin to wonder,
Never, never back track
I'll be following you.
I'm right behind you. Right behind you.

Jeannie, how do I ever get over?
How will I ever be free?
How will I ever get over
The love that you've given to me?
Jeannie, I'll never be free . . .

This song appears on Tom Chapin's In The City Of Mercy CD.
