Jane
Craaft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everytime I try to say I love you?
It breaks my heart to see you fade away
I guess I have to find another way to pull you through
Let me try it one more time
You know that I′m not that kind
Of guy to say the words of love
Jane, you're in my arms
And I will try to keep you warm
But does it get you through the night?
Oh, oh, Jane, don′t let it die
Let me stop the tears you cry
I swear we're gonna make it right
Let me love you till the morning rain
You're the one that makes my life worth living
Crazy days and stormy nights, the laughter and the rain
But I am reaching out to you, let us start again.
Let me try it one more time
You know that I′m not that kind
Of guy to say the words of love
But I do...
Jane, you′re in my arms
And I will try to keep you warm
But does it get you through the night?
Oh, oh, Jane, don't let it die
Let me stop the tears you cry
I swear we′re gonna make it right
(Solo)
I don't wanna lose it all tonight,
Still I have the fear to see you go
I never told you, but you know!
Jane, you′re in my arms
And I will try to keep you warm
But does it get you through the night?
Oh, oh, Jane, don't let it die
Let me stop the tears you cry
I swear we′re gonna make it right
Oh, oh, Jane, you're in my arms
And I will try to keep you warm
But does it get you through the night?
Oh, oh, Jane...

Für mich immer noch eine der besten Bands, die es in Deutschland jemals gegeben hat. Claus Luley hätte damals jeden anderen Rocksänger in Deutschland an die Wand gesungen. Großartig.
