Lyrics Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading

My Family

Have you met my family

Wouldn't take long to know them well

Though they number from one to a million

In this house we all dwell

Say hello to Jo, she's a goddess

And to Paul, he is a saint

And Adam, he's from the forest

And to Jane, all day she paints

You ask me how I feel now

Well I will tell you no lie

Jessie, you bring the sunshine

And you can see it in her eyes

Johnny tends the garden

And little David sows the seeds

Our manna is from heaven

He gives us all we need

He is Peter

He's a piper, yeah

And they will never grow old

So I bid you welcome

Welcome brothers, yeah

Welcome to the fold

You ask me how I feel now

Well I will tell you no lie

Jessie, you bring the sunshine

And you can see it in her eyes

Johnny tends the garden

And little David sows the seeds

Our manna is from heaven

He gives us all we need
