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
