Leon Russell Me And Baby Jane Lyrics

Janie was my first lovewe shared the pains of schoolshe offered me a balance for awhileand she gave me innocents
I seemed like less a foolshe always had a line to make me smilebut we separated earlynot an easy thing too dosometime seem tomorrow'd never comebut we couldn't keep togetherfor all the times we triedwe had a sad reunion tonight Oh how we laughed togethertrapped in the grapes of wrath togetheryes and we loved each other
Me and Baby Janebut now she's gone forever
Lord help me stay togethersee her vacant eyes and a needle in a vain
Oh baby, baby, Baby Jane I see the purple mountains I'm lost and inbetweena place that I know well and in a bad dream
Others stand beside me too late to try and findexcuses in the face of being blindbut now she is awaiting for the feeling of the coldto free her from the nightmare of oldshe was a part of me silently aloneand too far down to draw the line Oh how we laughed togethertrapped in the grapes of wrath togetheryes and we loved each other
Me and Baby Janebut now she's gone forever
Lord help me stay together
I see her in the sky and early morning rain
Oh baby, baby, Baby Jane
