1000 Arms Songtext
von Blue Rodeo

Janie only cries when she drinks
That's when she wakes up all the neighbourhood
Leaves a trail of tears around her feet

Janie says that she never knows
But she's afraid of how it just comes and goes
Afraid sh e'll lose her way on her own street

But all the cops they know about her
She's got so many friends around her
That when she feels she's sinking down
There's a thousand arms to bring her back around

Janie says that she never sleeps
She wears a red fur hat in the summer heat
Leans her painted bike against your door


Catch her when she goes for a walk
She says it calms her down just to hear you talk
You tell her things you've never said before

Janie looks right into your eyes
Says you must realize
Not everything you think is true
And the writing on the wall is there for you

I know it's hard to see life so many ways
You get caught up in the thick of it
You don't know what you think of it
One thing she told me is when you feel you're so confused
You just wait until the moment passes
Wait until the moment fades away

But all the cops they know about her
She's got so many friends around her
That when she feels she's sinking down
There's a thousand arms to bring her back around
