lyrics

Shady Lane
©2000 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Lazy Jane
It's all inside a photograph you never took
Pressed between the pages like flowers in a heavy book

SHADY LANE
inside your mind, shallow ditch that runs behind
Worn out doll, an aging girl, strolling down the brandywine

CHORUS
Look around
Look around
Look around
Look around
Look around

Pressed between your fingertips like a cigarette between painted lips
Silver foil of your smile, fading light of a long lost child
While away the summer days with picture shows and hopscotch games
Cradle full of colored rags, portraits stacked in shopping bags

CHORUS

Lazy Jane
The white-hot wheels of a bicycle, tar-caked heels
Buzzing bees of summer grass connect the dots along the path
Slippery rocks, a waterfall that no one knows is there at all
Dried up brook that takes you there, song of tombstones in the air

CHORUS

Everything you ever dreamed is buried in a single beam
Of sunlight on the windowsill, the sad song of the whippoorwill
Everything you every loved is stitched inside an unmatched glove
Waiting for a hand to touch
