The Ballad of Jayne Lyrics
She was always something special
Diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one would ever know
How much I love you so
Now it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened to Jayne
You were always on my mind
Shine like a summer day in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I never let you go
Even now I just want you to know
That it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened to Jayne
Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven
Shinin' bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still think of you in the night, oh yeah
Well I guess you'll never know
How much I need her so
Now it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what a shame
What happened to Jayne
Now it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened today
What happened today
Diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one would ever know
How much I love you so
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened to Jayne
Shine like a summer day in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I never let you go
Even now I just want you to know
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened to Jayne
Shinin' bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still think of you in the night, oh yeah
Well I guess you'll never know
How much I need her so
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what a shame
What happened to Jayne
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened today
What happened today

Nobody has ever commented? Wow. Let me be the first then. Great song,the opening acoustic is beautiful. Phil Lewis is a great vocalist.:)
This may be my favorite of the so-called "Power Ballads" from the early 90s. It's one of those songs that you hear once and it sticks in your mind for hours, if not days. Even in 2013.
