Hi, Jane

When the weather was hot, i thought it was nice

When it was cold i thought that it was good for the ice

When the sun was up, it was always shining

On cloudy days i saw silver lining

My father told me "i love you Stanley

Are you gonna be a doctor like me ?"

But i traveled around, i slept on the train

And on my mind was a girl called Jane

I went to Prague in a fall, one time

Just to see what was up with Tsimmerman

I thought i was a bohemian already

And had nothing to learn from anybody

But hanging about with Tsimmerman in Prague

I lost my temperance and my bag

I started to stumble, it started to rain

And i started to think of Jane again

She’s a treat, she’s a sugar cane

She will take away your pain

When i see her again

I ‘ll be happy just to say « hi, Jane »

I had idols at the time, it may sound funny to you

But i wanted to be like Bono from U2

There was also another singer i admired

I think he’s still alive, but i know he retired

He spent years writing sitting on his bed

A book like no one has ever read

His family says he's gone insane

The book is dedicated to a girl called Jane

I got to know Jane, and she got to know me

She licked my spoon and i stirred her tea

We were getting along, we Laughed a lot

She found me funny when i thought i was not

You wern't exactly seeing each other

We were more like sister and brother

But i started to like just saying her name

It’s so hard to stay friends with that girl called Jane

There's a lot to learn in a mere lifetime

There’s more to crave than to fear, i find

You wake up different one fine day

And all your past seems so far away

Time is on your side, time is your friend

There is really nothing to lose in the end

Shyness is lame and shyness is vane

So go and talk to a girl called Jane
