Testo When johnny comes marching home Blues Traveler

When johnny comes marching home

Take a look out to the east, where the sun will rise
And think of all the possibility it brings
And its that which makes it seem a hope that life dead lies
With its rationale that enslaves kings

But now I cant escape the fact that it feel wrong to me
And though the sun shines all the same I still feel lost
Because illumination doesnt mean you get to see what matters
Sometimes you buy the fear and know the cost
Sometimes you have to buy the fear to know the cost

And when I come marching home
When I come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear itll be the last time

I close my eyes and I can see a thousand scenes of happy ending
But Im relieved to wake up to the darkest sky
The night feels clear, the course unchanged
And a lonely wind gives call
The darkest sky allows the brightest stars to steer your own ship by

But now I cant escape the fact those dreams feel real to me
And though before Ive laid my siege and faced attack
In the end, I must admit, Im just the least bit terrified
For the first time I look for home and I think of starting back
For the first time, I think of starting back

The heart that beats
Is a heart that grows
And through torrid gale
I hold it wheel, because I know
Where you are
Is where Ill be
But its who you are
That already gives comfort to me

And should the dawn ever decide to set me free
Perhaps in a new way by the light of day
I could learn to face the sunrise
But that still remains for you and I to see
Cause now Im able to escape that Im alone in this
And though before Ive always taken it that way
And though Im not used to the exercise
I can offer you my hand
I might even learn to love the light of day
I might even learn to love the light of day

And when I come marching home
When I come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear itll be the last time

Because this time I want to stay
I wont ever want to go away
And when I come marching home again to you
I swear itll be the last time
