Lady Jane I saw your photograph yesterday
Many years before your eyes had turned to gray
In your smile I saw a lust for life that was shattered by the truth
That you were fated to be old before your youth.

Lady Jane I saw our photograph yesterday
In a memory time had gradually worn away
We laid by the bay at midnight, cast our dreams upon the stars
And vowed our love before our hearts were scarred.

Lady Jane you had to make your mind
Lady Jane you left it all behind
Lady Jane what did you think you’d ever find?

Lady Jane I saw your photograph yesterday
Among the relics that I tried to throw away
Still you somehow keep returning, like a tear that will not dry
And I can’t forget your face, though Lord I’ve tried.

Lady Jane you had to make your mind
Lady Jane you left it all behind
Lady Jane what did you think you’d ever find?

Lady Jane why don’t you smile for me again?
Love is not a war that you and I can win
Through your life you’ve pushed for answers, and you thought I knew them all
But the more you saw me, the more you watched me fall.

Lady Jane you had to make your mind
Lady Jane you left it all behind
Lady Jane what did you think you’d ever find?

Lady Jane I saw your photograph yesterday ...
