Jane....


This is a song by Stevie Nicks. I listened to it the other day and always somehow related to the words a lot but for different resasons than the song was written for. Pretty sure Stevie wrote it about Jane Goodall, (someone correct me if I'm wrong) her studying and loving connection with the chimpanzee's. I think I have just about all of Stevie's music...however still looking for the one with just her and Linsey Buckingham singing as a couple...wwaaaaayyy back when....

Jane

Such a little girl such a hard life
She could look a challenge right between the eyes
Disappointment would become her middle name....
Up against the wall, Jane.....
So her nights became nightmares
as she fought for their souls
And the days became worse
for the ones she had lost
Children of the world
the forgotten chimpanzee
in the eyes of the world
you have done so much for me....

There are angels, angels here on earth....angels...
There are angels here on earth...
Angels.....sent by God
Come away from the wall....stay with us
Well you can, Jane

So she watched as they put them all into cages
Well they might as well have caged her very own baby
They might as well have put us both into prison
Through a window....all our sorrows...
would become our only visions.....
Nothing more

There are angels here....angels
There are angels here on earth....angels
You will never feel....that you have ever done enough
But you have, Jane

Such a little girl such a hard life
You could look a challenge....straight between the eyes
Disappointment would become her middle name
Up against the wall, Jane
Nothing more than the shadow of a man
Come away from the wall, Jane
Well they might as well have put us both into prison
Come away.....if you can, Jane
Through a window...all our sorrows.....
will become our only visions
Come away, Jane
Come away.....come away if you can

In the eyes of the world........you have done so much...
