Amanda Jane

You can lay right there next to her

And you're feeling so unsure

You can never breathe at ease

She will keep you on your knees

And yet you still will try

You will stay there by and by

And you know it's just a fool

Who'd stay and think that people really changeLike an old oak tree with deep strong roots

There are some things that cannot be moved

And it seems they just go stronger as they age

Like the other man who came and went

She will always sing this sad lament

Of the man who could not fix Amanda Jane

Every line on her pretty face

It's a person, it's a place

Things that time cannot erase

Things that you will never face

Yet, you think that she would care

If you said that you'd stay there

And hold her through the night

Don't you know by now

You only can distract?Like an old oak tree with deep strong roots

There are some things that cannot be moved

And it seems they just go stronger as they age

Like the other man who came and went

She will always sing this sad lament

Of the man who could not fix Amanda Jane

You can try

Get down on your knees and pray

But if He answers

I know just what He would say

See even Jesus could not give his life to save

The broken heart of poor Amanda Jane

The broken heart of poor Amanda Jane

The broken heart of poor Amanda Jane

The broken heart of poor Amanda Jane

The broken heart of poor Amanda Jane

The broken heart of poor Amanda Jane

The broken heart of poor Amanda JaneLike an old oak tree with deep strong roots

There are some things that cannot be moved

And it seems they just go stronger as they age

Like the other man who came and went

She will always sing this sad lament

Of the man who could not fix Amanda Jane
