歌詞

July morning

Soft wind in the trees

Summer sunlight

Shining through the leaves

Long ago

I had a little dog

Every morning

We would walk alone

His name was John

Named after John Lennon

My favorite dreamer

And John Wayne

The lonely rider

John was small

But always by my side

July morning

The world was young and bright

July morning

Walking in the golden light

Even now

When summer fills the sky

I remember John

I never liked thunder

Rolling across the hills

And John was frightened too

When the dark clouds came

He would stop

And sit upon the road

Refusing to move

July morning

The clouds were moving slow

July morning

The distant thunder rolled

I'd carry John

Upon my back again

And walk us safely home

Neighbors laughed and smiled

"That isn't much of a walk"

Maybe they were right

But I didn't mind at all

His weight on my shoulders

Felt like trust

Felt like love

July morning

The years have passed away

July morning

But memories remain

In every cool and quiet summer dawn

I still walk with John
