Jenny (iowa Sunrise) Lyrics


Janis Ian Jenny (iowa Sunrise)


JENNY DON’T WASTE NO TIME
MORNING’S DRAWING NIGH
SPIRIT NEEDS TO FLY

DID I SEE YOU WEAVING
WIDE CIRCLES ‘ROUND THE SUN
LIKE A SILO SLEEPING
WHEN THE HAYING’S DONE

COULD HAVE BEEN MOST ANYONE
LIKE THE EARTH
AROUND THE SUN

AND OH, THOSE CITY LIGHTS
OUTSHINE THE STARS AT NIGHT
THOUGH THEY’RE HALF AS BRIGHT

OH, THAT AWFUL FIGHT
TO KEEP THE SPIRIT BRIGHT
WHEN THE PLANET’S TAKING FLIGHT

INSTRUMENTAL

OH, THOSE CITY LIGHTS
OUTSHINE THE STARS AT NIGHT

OH, THAT AWFUL FIGHT
TO KEEP THE SPIRIT BRIGHT
WHEN THE PLANET’S TAKING FLIGHT
