Joe Henry - Dear John lyrics

Cotton candy was king On the midway that spring When I saw you in the ring on the lawn Dear John Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on Oh, the lectures I gave So the girls would behave While the band played all your favorite songs Dear John Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on But numbers come up and you're left to the fates Though I always thought you were one of the greats Once somebody stationed in Kuala Lumpur Said he thought you went out, but he couldn't be sure And the midway I knew Where the sky was so blue With the memory of you is gone Dear John Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
