lyrics

Are you soundly sleeping tonight, oh John?
Since you have gone
you know that you can't ever come home -
no not again -
so make it where you are, oh John.
On the streets unseen for so long
you know that they still speak your name
but no, it's not like before -
you were a winner, but they evened the score.

Are you soundly sleeping tonight, oh John?
Be glad that you've gone.
You know that you can't ever come home -
no not again.
Please don't dream tonight of the ones
who depended upon
the boy so handsome, so winsome and strong.
You know that they live in the past
and oh John, that's where they belong.
