John & Mary
I Became Alone
City streets with noises aboundTelephone wires sparkle with soundAll believe impeachablyA world without end, amen, amenAnd the grass grew yellow and brownAnd the sky wasn't blueAnd at first when our radios workedWe wouldn't believe it was trueBoy with friend a-walkin' the landWoman in fields a-plowin' the earthGoods a-plenty in front of the storeLife was in love with the mushroom cap warAnd the grass grew yellow and brownAnd the sky wasn't blueAnd at first when our radios workedWe wouldn't believe it was trueLooking for the fort we builtBy the old abandoned mineBut there was nothing,Nothing we could findThere was no place for seeking and hiding,No time left for us findingThe worn-out whiskey bottlesAs my cold hands drawing crosses on the groundSongtexteSearching for our secret tree,The one with both our namesBut there was nothing,Nothing we could findThere was no place for seeking and hiding,No time left for us findingThe worn-out whiskey bottlesAs my cold hands drawing crosses on the groundStunted trees growing wild in the poolOnce summertime swim,Now shade keeps us coolKunda's baby never got bornVictory gardens all withered and wornAnd the grass grew yellow and brownAnd the sky wasn't blueAnd at first when our radios workedWe wouldn't believe it was trueThe rags of flowers bloomThe clouds a living tombAnd Christmas is coming soon,Turn gladly back home.
