Janie Lyrics & Chords By Monique Brumby

Janie got married in the middle of a desert
Janie got married in the middle of a seasonal change
But we knew it'd never work out anyway
His best man lost the wedding ring
What you thought you had has gone
What you thought you had has gone
Janie was always looking for perfection in a rose garden
But it wasn't until the day he opened up his heart to find
The most beautiful ones are the ones that fall apart
What you thought you had has gone
What you thought you had has gone
What if you were to reconcile your insignificant, meaningless life
Would you fade away, ah would you love
And what if they saw those weeping eyes, would you let them know the sacrifice ah would you love ah would you love
Janie got married way too young
He didn't know who he was or where he was going
You see him around these days and to look at him who could tell
The life he had before he sure hides it well
What you thought you had has gone
What you thought you had has gone
A new day dawns and with every small step
Janie movies forward into the light and out of regret
Regret for what his father showed him
Of exactly how not to feel, how to hide emotion, how to not be real
'til all the love that came just slipped right through his hands
Until his father was an old and bitter man
Janie grew up in that and how was he to know
That what his father reaped he must sow
Until the hurt could mend after the way he treated his mum
Helped pick up the pieces when his dad had up and gone

All the scars we hide everyday

What you thought you had has gone
What you thought you had has gone
What you thought you had has gone
Hallelujah there's a new day that's dawning, hallelujah, hallelujah
Janie got married in the middle of a desert
Janie got married in the middle of a seasonal change
