Me And Baby Jane - Leon Russell

Janie was my first love

We shared the pains of school

She offered me a balance for awhile

And she gave me innocence

I seemed like less a fool

She always had a line to make me smile

But we separated early

Not an easy thing to do

Sometime seems tomorrow never comes

But we couldn’t keep together

For all the times we tried

We had a sad reunion tonight

Oh how we laughed together

Trapped in the grapes of wrath together

Yes and we loved each other

Me and Baby Jane

But now she’s gone forever

Lord help me stay together

See her vacant eyes and a needle in a vein

Oh baby, baby, Baby Jane

I see the purple mountains

I’m lost and in between

A place that I know well and in a bad dream

Others stand beside me too late to try and find

Excuses in the face of being blind

But now she is awaiting

For the feeling of the cold

To free her from the nightmare of old

She was a part of me silently alone

And too far down to draw the line

Oh how we laughed together

Trapped in the grapes of wrath together

Yes and we loved each other

Me and Baby Jane

But now she’s gone forever

Lord help us stay together

I see her in the sky and early morning rain

Oh baby, baby, Baby Jane
