he tells her
"I wanna paint you naked on a big brass bed,
with bright orange poppies all around your head"
and she says
"you crazy old man, I'm not young any more"
"well that's allright", he whispers,"I've never painted before"

do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane?
do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane?
you've got me talking to the moon
you've got me walking in the rain
do you love me, do you love me
lady Jane?

"oh, and I wanna read you tea leaves by candle light
on a fat red velvet sofa I wanna be with you all night
I wanna tickle your feet with a peacock plume"
and she says
"can you talk a little softer?
there are people in the room"

do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane?
do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane?
you've got me talking to the moon
you've got me walking in the rain
do you love me, do you love me
lady Jane

and she says
"my children brought me here and promised me they'd call
but you know kids forget that's just the way of it all"

and he says
"well that makes us both footloose and fancy-free
so Jane do you wanna come see the painted desert with me?"

do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane?
do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane?
you've got me talking to the moon
you've got me walking in the rain
do you love me, do you love me
lady Jane

do you love me like I love you, lady Jane...?
