jainie
i left home with all my songs
and lonesome on my mind
silent wishes for all my friends
and love for jainie's eyes.
the morning that we spoke goodbye
the snow was falling down
the tears were cold in jainie's eyes
they fell without a sound.
but i'll come home when
the waters grow
and the sun wakes up the sky
let it shine, let it shine
let it shine on....
all night long i dream
your dreams
and i find you all alone
i rise and greet my old guitar
and i sing a morning song:
jainie, jainie understand
i'm sure it won't be long
soon the sun will warm the sky
and i'll be homeward bound.
yes i'll come home when
the waters grow
and the sun wakes up the sky
let it shine, let it shine
let it shine on.
(1971)
