Ida Jane, I've spent so much time in these walls The heart or brain, I still haven't found where I fall Joy and pain, late night memories and phone calls I refrain, for Ida Jane, I've heard it all Ida Jane, I talked to her all through the night And Winter came, and that's when she came into my sight I felt the flame; the fire burned fresh and it burned bright To all I've gained, oh Ida Jane, I'll hold on tight Ida Jane, I fell hard and you fell away I'll take the blame, for haste, it can cut and it can fray I feel the same; it stays with me both night and day Is it all in vain? Oh Ida Jane, what do you say Ida Jane, I'm not sure what to do anymore (I don't know darling, I don't know darling) The wind and rain battered me, and it made me sore (Black and blue, darling, black and blue darling) Summer came and they went out and shut up your doors (Closed you up, darling, closed you up, darling) I feel the change. Oh Ida Jane But there's more you have in store
