Joanne Songtext
von Frank Ifield

Her name was Joanne
And she lived in a meadow by a pond
And she touched me for a moment
With a look that spoke to me of her sweet love
Then the woman that she was
Drove her on with desperation
And I saw as she went
A most hopeless situation
For Joanne and the man and the time
That made them both run
She was only a girl
I knew that well but still I could not see
That the hold that she had
Was much stronger than the love she felt for me
But staying with her
And my little bit of wisdom
Broke down her desires
Like a light through a prism Into yellows and blues and a tune
That I could not have sung
Though the essence is gone
I have no tear to cry for her
And my only thought of her is kind
Her name was Joanne
And she lived in a meadow by a pond
And she touched me for a moment
With a look that spoke to me of her sweet love
Then the woman that she was
Drove her on with desperation
And I saw as she went
A most hopeless situation
For Joanne and the man and the time
That made them both run
For Joanne and the man and the time
That made them both run
