Soldier Jane lyrics

No one cares what dress she wears alone Tattered rags and paper bags and all She's the one sleeping in the day Drag her down, don't let her drown in dirt Lovers drag their canes across the gates Gamblers light candles for the dice No one wake her up, she's sleeping still So put a candle on the window sill Soldier jane, don't be afraid Take your heart out of the shell Take your heart out of the shell Throw it away Stars, they strike the darkness in the room Knives, they take the poison from the wound Cars, they drag us down into the ruins Sweep our cares away with dirty brooms Soldier jane, don't be afraid Take your heart out of the shell Take your heart out of the shell Throw it away
