pip proud - sleeping jane lyrics

you were only seventeen and i was somewhere in between
and smoky was our past
a rabbit grew from a cigarette ash left drooping in the grass
and from the rail came the wail of some hound dog made of grass
you were all to me and i was only a dream
and somehow things went bad
and from the smoke that floated from the hedge i traced two kids rolling cigarettes
and by the time i reached the creek you’ve already drowned
oh have you seen the bums in town
have you ever wandered about the bars
i found a girl all made of wax and told her where to park
and through the din of a sleeping city’s lights i asked her in the dark
and she pulled this medal from her hand and gave it to me with a sigh
i called her son and asked her for the time, she gave me this unusual pass
there’s a black dog in the cornfield and the crows only wish to land
and there’s this light in the land that comes from some god somewhere
and about the faces of the folks that hide us marks about their eyes
and someone has asked me to please pass the ghost
and sleeping jane on the board is being sketched at last
you were all the world to me you were made of gas
you were all the universe and i somehow let you pass
into the silence of some place i just can’t grasp
and now at your door it’s white and cold and i’m designing old snowflakes
and through the eaves i hear the sound of your filling bath
and jane’s awake and admires her only heart
like it were a laugh
