Jerry Leger - John Lewis lyrics

A coat of mystery hangs on the wall Of the thick cool breeze He tips his charcoal cap To the girl he won't win back Even if he acts nicely Someone died here, don't know why They found her on the hill Hair blowing high John Lewis, won't you come on in Tell us where you've been Life on the ferris wheel That's where laughter lives And it always will Peter wipes away all of Sarah's tears But has nothing That's ever gonna really comfort her These haunted grounds That we cannot see They're just crowds of children Planning schemes It's not so sad when you realize the truth Well, that's what I've been Hearing from you My head in pounding with thoughts of time Some of which I hope they'll never find John Lewis, won't you come on in Tell us where you've been I never thought I could ever be true I'd be standing here accused With the point of a finger So wise and so strong Oh, I swear I hurt no one They stretched that body On their little bench Just to show what they've been up against Then they throw me in their large calaboose And nobody's shouting, "Won't you please turn him loose" All the ravens straighten their hats and ties Wash their hands in dirty alibis John Lewis, won't you come on in Tell us where you've been The sun don't sink like it used to do This whole town feels like it's gonna move The hills are just memories Through dark eyes and hate Can't you hear her Scratching on my back door gate? She told me who ripped her pretty dress Who lured her away with a warm caress I feel her body around me so cold They sentence me with all their truth untold That lonesome hill is always on my mind But I still think of her smiling in disguise John Lewis, won't you come on in Tell us where you've been
