Sweet Janie left this morning softly in the rain
Couldn't take me higher than
The highest; we have always been this way
You know I'm sorry my love for what we don't say
Veins of chocolate flow to seas of sorrow in her eyes
Doesn't like the leaving, says
She's always felt like staying a step behind
You know I'm sorry my love for what we don't mind
You paint a picture of a lonely man
Wanted high and low
For things that you and I both long to be
Take no steps that leave a mark we need not know
Take your time and make it pay
Janie come what may
Janie lovely, Janie soft
There's something you should know
I have only one song left
To sing you sound asleep before you go
You know I'm sorry my love for what we don't know
You paint a picture of a lonely man
Wanted high and low
For things that you and I both long to be
Take no steps that leave a mark we need not know
Take your time and make it pay
Janie come what may
Janie one time, Janie twice
We could start anew
Take a chance on circumstance
And leave behind the fight before you're through
You know I'm sorry my love for what we don't do
You paint a picture of a lonely man
Wanted high and low
For things that you and I both long to be
Take no steps that leave a mark we need not know
Take your time and make it pay
Janie come what may
Janie come what may
