Jade
Edwarde Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She runs through the Valley of Death and of Sleeping
She laughs as she dances her feet wake the flowers
She comes a now running through our gloomy town
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour
We can't help but follow she's Buddha just watch her
She moves like an old gypsy woman but swears she's a girl
And all that she asks we'll allow her
For Jade is the girl of the hour

It is her hour so let it be hers
Find it and shine it and wind it always
It is her hour so let it be hers
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour

The people in town now just wake up to see her for
When she smiles they all feel the power
The strong men the children and even the cowards
Know Jade's the girl of the hour

It is her hour so let it be hers
Find it and shine it and wind it always
It is her hour and always it's hers
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour

You won't soon forget the name

Softly now join her she's blessed for construction
She sings and sounds off the hammer of god
Man, I swear she's come here to fill us with power
It's Jade the girl of the hour

It is her hour so let it be hers
Find it and shine it and wind it always
It is her hour so let it be hers
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour

It is her hour so let it be hers
Find it and shine it and wind it always
It is her hour so let it be hers
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour





And you won't soon forget the name
