She drew the melancholy of the wind
Like the bridge of her thoughts
Were hidden around her bedroom door

Her name was the tallest of the words
Coming to the wooden floor

I think she had the name of her mother
Sweet Janice, o her friends seemed
To call her by her first name

I remember those long stockings
She use to wear
When her mother called her up the stairs
She wore those shoes with those red straps on the end

Her name was Janice
Falling down the terrace
Falling down the wind beneath
Falling down
Underneath my dreams

I think I saw her name
Like it was my own
The way the road use to curve
The way it use to bend its words
Against the summer high of its own

IÕll never forget the words she would leave by my bed
Never forget those lips
That sudden urge to find
The wind once more

I think I see her name down the alley
I think I see her name just a little
Bit farther down the road to the valley

DonÕt tell my friends where I am
I think IÕll be gone for just a little longer
OÕ sweet Janice.
