Lyrics

She sits all day in the darkened room Stares at the TV in the afternoon The dark is a veil, wraps her in the night Keeping her face well out of sight Here she sits, in her electric chair She feels a draft coming through the air The lights are dim, the windows tight The curtains drawn to keep out the light Once was a beauty, top of her class Soul of an angel, fragile as glass Years have gone, taken their toll Her skin as deep as the color of coal She sits alone, turning deep within Face is gaunt, she looks too thin How a life so bright and young it seems It’s all just a memory, all a dream SOLO Long, ago, in a place very far She was a sight to behold, before the scars Beaten and battered, her life was soon shattered She pretended not to care, like nothing mattered Time has a way of slipping away We feel so much, but there’s a price to pay Took a gun, time to get tough Had to be firm, could not be a bluff Tear in her eyes, a limp in her gait She hid in the hall, ready for the wait When her husband came home, he was thunderstruck Shot in the face, like being hit by a truck He was never found, or missed it seems His only attachment to this world’s in her dreams Her door’s locked tight, there is never a knock Just the painting of dust, and the tick of the clock No-one knows what we’ll leave behind Will we be remembered, will we be confined What will we leave as our legacy Just a word at the end of a family tree Constancy grows, never changes a thing Like the diamond set engagement ring Nobody comes for our dear Jane Doe Nobody comes for our dear Jane Doe
