lyrics

In a little border town in the middle of the night
Kneeling by her bed, with the desert in her eyes
Prays Joanna soon to be the one and only Saint
Where everywhere she walks, it falls the pouring rain

Joanna of the falling rain, I know you feel alone
Traveling from place to place, where will you call home
Tonight, Joanna

Joanna never stays too long in one town
Everywhere she'd go, the rain was falling down

When she hears the call, she finds her way there
bringing skies as black as her eyes and her hair

She turned twenty-one sleeping by the road
Dreaming of the sun, as the thunder clouds they roll

In the California sun, there lives a light haired boy
Where everywhere he walks, the sun comes to destroy
And every night he sleeps, he dreams of falling rain
And a ribbon made of black in the hair of a lonely Saint

Joanna felt the heat of the fires in the West
From a medal that she wears upon her lily breast
And as the smoke jumpers jump to fight the roaring blaze
The boy who brought the sun, in the woods, he waits
But this storm storm is like, no one has ever seen
it's running East to West instead of West to East

about

Jeremy Joyce New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans couldn’t offer a more appropriate musical backdrop for Jeremy Joyce, whose genre-defying songs are born out of Jeremy’s macro-level interest in music history and his micro-level interest in what makes songs tick.
