Lyrics

 
you almost lived you almost made it through the night almost found a way to be
johnny was a fighter that's what some might say who didn't know his gentle way
your beauty flowed like the river when she was runnin' high
ripping through the valley ripping through the time
and I am searching for the meaning in your unfinished song
when you called to say you were coming home
you really meant "so long"
everything was clear you said you were not angry anymore you found your happiness
you served your time and dreamed of how your life would be coming clean
your beauty flowed like the river when she was runnin' high
ripping through the valley ripping through the time
and I am searching for the meaning in your unfinished song
when you called to say you found your peace
you really meant "so long"
if there's a God in heaven I hope to see you there besides you're better off with him up there
but thanks for the call, you were so kind to say you loved me and I loved you
your beauty flowed like the river when she was running high
ripping through the valley ripping through the time
and I am searching for the meaning in your unfinished song
when you called to say you loved me
you really meant "so long" 
so long...
