Janet Says

Janet says, "It looks like a rainy day today

Just another rainy day"

As I lean my chin slowly up against the window pane

It's another gray rainy day

Go on try it again

Try, try, try, try to get goin'

The rain comes down, forcin' you to stay inside

Holdin' you back from the places that you usually hide

Are you all alone or more than anything before?

Janet says she loves you, is there something troublin' you?

It's not that easy to say

For I feel sometimes such a presence in the room

Of friends I knew especially on these rainy days

But go on try to stay

Fly, fly, fly, we're flyin' away

We hold on to memories of everyone

Like existing clouds, a shadow dance before the sun

And down with the rain

I can see the separations come

Janet says, "Maybe you would rather sing to me

It might be easier that way

I guess it would and ought to be a simple melody

One that sort of suits the rain"

Everything rolls off unwinding reels

Of remembering how it used to feel

To belong somewhere
