Jonah - Eric Andersen

The bars in the city

Are the wastelands of love

If your heart never hunted

You never gave it much thought

Tonight you’re down on your luck,

Your self-esteem is so low

As you pick yourself up,

You’re cursing under your breath

Someone please show me the door

Sometimes I wish I could do all I please

And be like you Jonah

Just to follow my dreams

Leave my loves all behind

I’m nothing special

I just do my part

Sometimes I run in the night

When I’m scared of the dark

Jonah, you’re gonna be a changed man now

You know that dreamers like you

Can always find your way out

So many tried but did not have enough

The alleys are littered with the souls who gave up Jonah, my friend

Don’t ever give up Now you’ve come back

You’ve got something to share

Where have you gone

Jonah, I’m scared

You said that dreams can be lonely

'cause dreams they don’t care

The times you’re looking your best

Are the times when you look

Like you just swallowed the whale

Jonah, you’re gonna be a changed man now

You know that dreamers like you

Can always find your way out

So many tried but did not have enough

The alleys are littered with the souls who gave up Jonah, my friend

Don’t ever give up
