Janet Says Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Janet says, "It looks like a rainy day today 

Just another rainy day" 

As I lean my chin slowly up against the window pane 

It's another gray rainy day 

Go on try it again 

Try, try, try, try to get goin' 

The rain comes down, forcin' you to stay inside 

Holdin' you back from the places that you usually hide 

Are you all alone or more than anything before? 

Janet says she loves you, is there something troublin' you? 

It's not that easy to say 

For I feel sometimes such a presence in the room 

Of friends I knew especially on these rainy days 

But go on try to stay 

Fly, fly, fly, we're flyin' away 

We hold on to memories of everyone 

Like existing clouds, a shadow dance before the sun 

And down with the rain 

I can see the separations come 

Janet says, "Maybe you would rather sing to me 

It might be easier that way 

I guess it would and ought to be a simple melody 

One that sort of suits the rain" 

Everything rolls off unwinding reels 

Of remembering how it used to feel 

To belong somewhere
