Michael Nesmith - Joanne Lyrics
Her name was JoanneAnd she lived near a meadowBy a pondAnd she touched me for a momentWith a look that spoke to meOf her sweet longThen the woman that she wasDrove her on with desperationAnd I saw, as she wentA most hopeless situationFor Joanne and the manAnd the time that made them both runShe was only a girlI know that well, but still I could not seeThat the hold that she hadWas much stronger than the loveShe felt for meBut staying with herAnd my little bit of wisdomBroke down her desiresLike a light through a prismInto yellows and bluesAnd the tune that I could not have sungThough the essence is goneI have no tears to cry for herAnd my only thoughts of herAre kindHer name was JoanneAnd she lived near a meadow by a pondAnd she touched me for a momentWith a look that spoke to meOf her sweet longThen the woman that she wasDrove her on with desperationAnd I saw as she wentA most hopeless situationFor Joanne and the manAnd the time that made them both runFor Joanne and the manAnd the time that made them both run
