JOANNA
(Tony Hatch / Jackie Trent)


Scott Walker - 1968


Joanna, I can't forget the one they call Joanna
We owned the summer hand in hand, Joanna
And now she's always just a tear away
Goodbye you, you long lost summer leaving me behind you
Repeating things for lovers that may find you
I still hang on to every word that day you passed my way

Joanna, you made the man a child again, so sweetly
He breathed your smile, lived in your eyes completely
And on his heart there's still a trace of you
I loved you, but nothing in this world could make you mine
Yet still in time, Joanna
Joanna, you may remember me and change your mind

(Instrumental Break)

I loved you, but nothing in this world could make you mine
Yet still in time, Joanna
Joanna, you may remember me and change your mind
