Soldier Jane

Nobody cares what dress she wears at all Tattered rags and paper bags, and all She's the one sleeping in the dirt Drag her down, don't let her drown in dirt Lovers drag their canes across the gates Gamblers like 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 from the room Knives, they take the poison from the wound 'Cause they drag us down into the ruins Sleep our cares away and dirty boots Soldier Jane, don't be afraid Take your heart out of the shell Take your heart out of the shell Don't be afraid
