about

The victim of countless arrangements and re-records it turns out the answer was a simple, for her, piano part by Rosalie James.
Lyrically, life with women is the subject.

lyrics

Then a Girl Walks In
words and music by
john greene

there you are,
the dawn of a brand new day,
ready, up and willing, come what may,
happy with, life and another start,
looking to the future,
where you play your perfect part

there you sit, it’s the middle of the day,
you’re doing what you’re doing
in the usual way
ups and downs,
dodging the slings and arrows,
trying to keep your life within,
the straight and narrow

thinking bout things
that make me what i am
driving thru life with the seat belt off
times to short
for dreams beyond perfection
when she comes will it be alright

there you go, its the evening of the day,
socializing, party-going,
drink your life away,
drown the day, stagger home at dawn,
happy with your lonely lot,
glad to be alone

then a girl walks in
and your dreams turn into dust,
then a girl walks in
and your iron resolve turns to rust,
then a girl walks in
and seven mirrors shatter,
then a girl walks in
and she’s the only thing that matters
no, nothing else matters

about

John Greene Music Falmouth, UK

John Greene's music is a reflection of his turbulent, non-conformist life and is based on early rock and roll, the pop explosion of the 60’s, the blues and many things Americana.
Best described as ‘Hard Country’, it lives in the space also occupied by the likes of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. It always involves his unique viewpoint on the world he has lived in and the troubles we all share.
