Harry Chapin Jenny Lyrics

Jenny Lyrics

It was when I rode off in my daydreams

Chasing that vision of light

It was then I got caught in the jet stream

And I dropped through a hole in the night

And I knew it's not you that I run from

I saw each of us living alone

And I prayed that you still could be waiting

That's when I started for home



Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny my love

Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny

You are my rainbow above



I have seen a great city in the darkness

Dream lady dressed in cold concrete

I've seen the City of Angles

With the names of its dead in the street

And for once I could see it all your way

And for once I knew I was all wrong

And I thought of you there in my door way

And I knew I've been travelin' too long



Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny my love

Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny

You are my rainbow above



As I crossed to the heart of the country

I was lost in a forest of signs

And I laughed 'cause life gets so funny

Here I was wasted from wastin' my time

So now shine down your sun on my shadow

Without you I don't mean a thing

And I gather me one golden morning, babe

'Cause it's your song that I need to sing



Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny my love

Oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny

You are my rainbow above
