Cantatonia - Johnny Come Lately lyrics

I'm sorry you couldn't make it You could have seen him So weathered and dated He was a Johnny Come Lately And I know that you would hate it If you'd seen his botanical leanings First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit He was a Johnny Come Lately And I know that you would hate me If I'd envied the things that he spoke of How I envied the things that he thought of He was a Johnny Come Lately And I know that you would hate me If I told you that I made some time To stay behind the final line and make the garden grow Where the sun no longer shines If I asked too many questions And stayed behind the final line and made the garden grow But he never ever gave away the secret of his godforsaken soil He didn't need us Just tempted and teased us You could have been here Wishing you were here This was a Johnny Come Lately And I know that you would hate me He was a Johnny Come Lately And I know that you would hate me If I told you that I made some time To stay behind the final line and make the garden grow Where the sun no longer shines He a**ured the seeds you sold were sound But I must have cast them all on stony ground And now the sun won't shine I must have asked too many questions And stayed behind the final line and made the garden grow But he never ever gave away the secret of his godforsaken soil
