Alana Michele Hollander - Joni Song Lyrics

There was this catbird calling my name
Perched in the distance somewhere on a branch
He chirped he chattered whispered he preached
Said come on baby take a chance

You can hear it as the record turns you can see it on the screen
Feel it in between your toes barefoot on the hilly green
This nostalgia isn't yours to recapture if you try
Just remember Joni wasn't there neither was I

I looked up standing down in the valley below
Could almost see em' in a sea half a million tall
But they're just shadows of someone else's memories
And there are too many someones to recall

You can hear it as the record turns you can see it on the screen
Feel it in between your toes barefoot on the hilly green
This nostalgia isn't yours to recapture if you try
Just remember Joni wasn't there neither was I

Then I went to visit a past that once belonged to me
Looked kind of different but it sounded the same
And the music froze me stretched on this timeless line
Then some other kid relived it frame by frame

You can hear it as the record turns you can see it on the screen
Feel it in between your toes barefoot on the hilly green
This nostalgia isn't yours to recapture if you try
Just remember Joni wasn't there neither was I
