My dear Uncle John Was born in the war When you couldn't get a cup of sugar for Lent And he never saw his pa anymore Who had sailed off to the open sea Who said it wasn't his responsibility To bring a boy up in this world To bring a boy up in this world My dear Uncle John Married too young His mother having passed away a few years before He was never the same after that So he sailed off to the open sea He said it isn't my responsibility To bring a boy up in this world Too busy conquering the world I never knew my Uncle John He never knew how much he gave to me But in my life he lingers on On and on and on and on My dear Uncle John Fell in love as a man Put everything aside to be just with her He found it fitting that she came from Japan So they sailed across the open sea He said she's teaching me responsibility That I should try and change the world So he tried to change the world I never knew my Uncle John He never knew how much he gave to me But in my life he lingers on On and on and on and on My dear Uncle John Died on the street The jealousy of one stray mind in the dark We were never the same after that Since he sailed off to the open sea Into an ever record playing of humanity Having tried to change the world Having tried to change the world I never knew my Uncle John He never knew how much he gave to me But in my life he lingers on On and on and on and on My dear Uncle John My dear Uncle John My dear Uncle John
