Steve Hackett - Jane Austen's Door lyrics

Has Jean Paul Sartre deserted you Do you still listen to the blues Is there a needle beside your hand A poisoned chalice or the promised land Some doors open some doors close Do opposites still seem close Did Ruby Tuesday get to you Or the caretaker whose film we used A purple rose that was ignored The child behind Jane Austen's door Oh has your life seemed unkind With all those friends you left behind We burned our bridges fast those days Don't think about them it doesn't pay My drunken guitar Sloane Square tube Falling backwards me and you Tumbling over to the floor You cried inside Jane Austen's door So long Let it die let it go Heureusment vivre dans une cage Un homme et femme peut-etre mon age I'll take your part when this wheel turns How many lifetimes it takes to learn So goodbye goodbye little star Forgive yourself heal that scar A purple rose that was ignored The light inside Jane Austen's door Shine on
