Never the Same

Johnny can't play
Rosemary's sitting in a shower of rain
Sunny, sunny days have all
Turned over to filthy weather
She can't stay there, coughing all the day there
Down in the meadow
Johnny can't play no more
Nobody will go and get her

The sun doesn't get any better
Rosemary just get's wetter

Father says kill them
Preacher says God's will be done
Mother says be still then
Rose is in the meadow
And the sheep are on the hill, still
And the birds are on the willow

There were 25 jenny wrens, sitting on a willow
When the rain came in
None of them could sing
We'll never be the same

The sun doesn't get any higher
Rosemary doesn't get any drier

Johnny can't play
Rosemary's sitting in a shower of rain and it'll kill her
Sunny, sunny days have all
Turned over to filthy weather
She can't stay there, coughing all the day there
Down in the meadow
Johnny can't play no more
Rosemary's lying in a shower of rain

And if we live another day
We'll never be the same again
