Jon Geihsler - queen jane

Queen Jane she died late last night
With her last breath her last bit of fight
We were not thinking no 'cause we had been drinking
When Queen Jane she died late last night

The rain started down about four
I was still fucked up from the night before
The news soaked my skin, I sobered up from within
When the rain started down about four
At dawn I stood as stone by her bed
I listened to what the doctors had said
Her heart it seems did break shredding mine in its wake
When at dawn I stood as stone by her bed

I never thought she'd forgive us
But I swore she'd outlive us
What now?

Sunday the whole town gathered round
We buried Queen Jane six feet down
The church bells kept singing I drank to keep my ears from ringing
Sunday the whole town gathered round
I left without telling a soul
Whatever I couldn't carry I sold
I planted roses by her tomb and said a prayer that they'd bloom
And I left without telling a soul

I never thought she'd forgive us
But I swore she'd outlive us
What now?

I ran like hell maybe it's just as well
The less that she gave me the harder I fell
We laid her to rest
Baby, it's all for the best
Queen Jane was beautiful, too fleeting, too bright
Like the soft aching radio on them hot summer nights
When the fire in your bones is burning just right

We let that old love slip away
The fools we were, what could we say?
I guess we were well read oh but starved and poorly fed
We let that old love slip away
