Soldier Jane

No one cares what dress she wears alone

Tattered rags and paper bags and all

She's the one sleeping in the day

Drag her down, don't let her drown in dirt

Lovers drag their canes across the gates

Gamblers light candles for the dice

No one wake her up, she's sleeping still

So put a candle on the window sill

Soldier Jane, don't be afraid

Take your heart out of the shell

Take your heart out of the shell

Throw it away

Stars, they strike the darkness in the room

Knives, they take the poison from the wound

Cars, they drag us down into the ruins

Sweep our cares away with dirty brooms

Soldier Jane, don't be afraid

Take your heart out of the shell

Take your heart out of the shell

Throw it away
