"26 years or John,"
that's what she babbled on.
She wanted to see her John.
But John was no more.
He had gone on to Mars.
Gone in a colony ship.
He had gone on to Mars.
But didn't make the trip.
"26 years or John," she babbled.
26 years or John.
26 years ago, it happened.
26 years now gone.
That's when he left, it's true.
That's when his heart just up,
it just up and faltered.
26 years or John.
26 years or John.
I don't know how she carried on
without her old friend John.
I don't know how she carried on
loving a man so gone.
26 years or John.
26 years or John.
