I thought I was mistaken,
I thought I heard your words,
Tell me, how do I feel,
Tell me now, How do I feel.

Those who came before me,
Lived through their vocations,
From the past until completion,
They'll turn away no more.

And I still find it so hard,
To say what I need to say,
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me,
Just how I should feel today.

I see a ship in the harbour,
I can and shall obey,
But if it wasn't for your misfortune,
I'd be a heavenly person today.

And I thought I was mistaken,
And I thought I heard you speak,
Tell me how do I feel,
Tell me now, how should I feel.

Now I stand here waiting...

I thought I told you to leave me,
While I walked down to the beach,
Tell me how does it feel?
When your heart grows cold.

It was January, 1963,
When Johnny came home with a gift for me.
He said I bought it for you because I love you,
And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday, too....

He was so very nice, he was so very kind
to think of me, at this point in time...
I used to think of him, he used think of me.

He told me to close my eyes,
My gift would be a great surprise,
I saw tears were in his eyes,
He never meant to hurt me....

Oh, God, Johnny... don't point that gun at me,
There's so many ways our lives have changed,
But please, I beg, don't do this to me.

Johnny... don't point that gun at me...
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake won't you listen to me?

And though he was ashamed that he had took a life,
Johnny came home with another wife.
And he often remembered how it used to be,
Before that special occasion, 1963...
There are too many ways that you can kill someone,
Like in a love affair, when the love has gone...
He used to think of her, she used to think of him.

He told me to close my eyes,
My gift would be a great surprise,
I saw tears were in his eyes,
He never meant to hurt me.....

Oh, God, Johnny... don't point that gun at me,
There's so many ways our lives have changed,
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny... you keep on using me,
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise,
I saw hatred in his eyes,
But he never meant to hurt me....

Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me,
There's so many ways our lives have changed,
But please, I beg, don't do this to me.

Johnny... you keep on using me,
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?

I just want you to be mine,
I don't want this world to shine,
I don't want this bridge to burn
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
I just want to feel free.

I will always feel free...
