lyrics

Little Jane leans on the window sill,
Keeps loving watch for Kathleen still,
Waiting for Mum to walk in...
Waiting for life to begin.

Jane sets the table for three years straight,
Each guest a seat, each friend a plate...
But guests are few in such a home.
Once again she eats alone.

Hey Little Jane, can I see your smile?
It hasn't lit your face in quite a long while.
Where is the mother who held you in her love?
Where is the care that you're worthy of?

In Helen, you could see yourself.
In her embrace and waning health.
You held her through the fevered night,
Such beautiful and fleeting light.

You shape Adele with loving hands,
Patient as she ignores commands.
You give her time, maternal care.
The kind that proved for you so rare.

Hey Little Jane, can I see your smile?
It hasn't lit your face in quite a long while.
Where is the mother who held you in her love?
Where is the care that you're worthy of?

And as you grow, you will come to know the love you crave.
A stolen glance, a rush joy, a fleeting moment saved
And you will rise above the ones who pulled you down,
The ones that you forgave.

Hey, Little Jane can I see your smile?
It hasn't lit your face in quite a long while.
Hey, Little Jane can I see your smile?
It hasn't lit your face in quite a long while...
Hey, Little Jane, Can I see your smile?
