[Lyric] Goodbye Jane (John Wesley Harding)

You saw me, I saw you
We thought "I'll have one of those"
We played our very best hands
Wore our finest clothes
Needing you, you were feeding me
The sun, the moon and the stars
With a song on your guitar
You said “Goodbye Mr. Stace”
You didn't need to explain
So I said “Goodbye Jane”

Once we were born, we ignored storm warnings
As long as we could
Did we think it might work out fine?
Did we just hope it would?
Forgive me, it’s like we played out the movie
Just seeing the preview
Did it seem that short to you?
You said “Goodbye Mr. Stace”
You didn't need to explain
So I said “Goodbye Jane, Goodbye Jane”
“I'm not really going away”
You say it kindly
Never mind it sounds like a threat
It's a moment I'd rather forget
Or better yet, not regret
No hope of that

I guess it’s fair to say
I could have taken you away from all of this
Your house, your handsome husband
With just a kiss
What we had was perfect
So, despite the prize
That was a power I chose not to exercise
You said “Goodbye Mr. Stace”
You didn't need to explain
And I said “Goodbye Jane, Goodbye Jane”

Now I am alone with you again at last
Just me on my own, alone
You and me
In my memory
