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 but go on try it again

Try, try, try, try to get goin'

But 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 at times 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 it 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
