Nobody Knows

Johnny's got high expectations He's gonna rise Everyone knows that Johnny is ready He's ready to fly Up on the rooftop he turns to the crowd No one is waiting No one is there [Chorus] Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts And some of us find a world that's clear and bright You could be packed up and ready Knowing exactly where to go How come you miss the connection? No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows Johnny will keep his illusions What else can he do? And you can pretend that it would be different If it happened to you But up on the rooftop, it's a whole other world And who could see heaven And not want to stay? [Chorus] --- Nobody Knows - Paul Brady
