Lyrics Harry Chapin

Harry Chapin

Jenny

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

Then 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

And 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'd 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

When I crossed to the heart of the country

I was lost in a forest of signs

And I laughed because 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 gather me one golden morning, babe

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

And it's oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny, my love

Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

You are my rainbow above

And it's oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

Oh my Jenny, my love

Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

You are my rainbow above
