Weep for Jamie Songtext

von Peter, Paul & Mary

The other side
Of Jamie's door
Is aching loneliness
One, two, three, four

She dances with
The ancient fears
With porcelain smiles
And wetless tears

Weep for Jamie
For the bones that tear
At her flesh inside

Weep for Jamie
She lives in the land
Where her father died

Don't try to answer
Her helpless call
She can't hear your words
She feels nothing at all

With no tomorrow
Promised by today
She's the child
Of emptiness and yesterday

Weep for Jamie
For the bones that tear
At her flesh inside

Weep for Jamie
She lives in the land
Where her father died

I'll sing you one
Of a song without an end
I'll sing you two
Of a tree that cannot bend

I'll sing you three
Of a womb that never filled
And the fourth deepest wound
And the love that it killed

Weep for Jamie
For the bones that tear
At her flesh inside

Weep for Jamie
She lives in the land
Where her father died
