Jonny (Reprise) – Faye Webster

Jonny, who was it that said
“A white wall may seem empty
But it’s ready to be filled
And, in its readiness, needs nothing
It stands complete”
Was it you?
I don’t remember
But it makes me wonder
Jonny, why couldn’t you be ready, too?
I was ready, ready to be happy
Ready for that long look that never ends
And, now, I don’t know what to do
Yes, Jonny, I’ll say it
This is a love song, isn’t it?
Yes, well, I guess this is how it ends
A strange poem about a plain and ready white wall
One with many questions
And a dog as speechless as that same wall
And the sorrows of love’s slow passing
Goodbye, Jonny
