Rachael Sage - Jane's Dimitri Lyrics

The moment that she realized she'd already had the love of her life
Was fifty years and five minutes too late
He followed her halfway across the earth
He followed her far from his Russian birth
He followed her like he was Tarzan and she was Jane

Well the moon belongs to no one but he promised it was hers
She was sixteen on a class trip clutching freedom like a purse
When they met one night in Moscow he had chips upon both shoulders
Like a baby Johnny Rotton hypnotizing as a scream

What is Jane supposed to say, what is Jane supposed to do
Now she finally realizes what's always been more than true
What is Jane supposed to feel now she finally hears his voice
Like the days between the truth, leaving her no other choice
Oh, Jane's Dimitri

When he showed up at her doorstep she was shipwrecked and confused
Disbelief is a defensive labyrinth of I-love-you's
No one teaches girls to stand up to their parents or their fears
No one preaches to the elders to bow down to teenage years

What is Jane supposed to say, what is Jane supposed to do
Now she finally realizes what's always been more than true
Will they lock her up in madness will they throw away the key
She has seen his face in strangers, made sweet love with enemies

Does it matter that she's wandered like a gypsy dandelion in the air
Kissing demons with the desperateness of Judas in despair
Oh, Jane's Dimitri

Well regret is like arthritus, gripping wisdom by the joint
And you're gasping and you're drowning while love's sharpening her point
Sixty-five and still a virgin to the wistfulness of risk
She stopped writing after twelve months, she stopped crying after six

What is Jane… What is Jane
Now she finally recognizes what's always been in her way
What is Jane supposed to feel now she finally hears his voice
Like the days between the Sabbath leaving her no other choice

Does it matter that she's wandered like a gypsy dandelion in the air
Kissing demons with the desperateness of Judas in despair
Oh, Jane's Dmitri
