Lyrics

Said Jane: "When young, I dreamt of love (Alt: When I was young, I dreamt of love)
Of a knight on shining steed
Putting all to flight before him
As he came to rescue me
From my father's mighty castle
But now do I opine
That the fortress was a phantom
And the chains and locks were mine".

Will you rescue me, and lift me up
As they did in days of yore?
When tomorrow comes, will you still be there,
And will I need you any more?

I swam into an ocean once
Far out beyond the break
Swept on by waves so powerful
And currents strong and great.
My strength was gone, or so I thought
But when the lifeguard came
"No thanks", said I, "I'll be OK"
But I could not hide my shame.


Will you rescue me, and lift me up
Set my feet upon the shore?
When tomorrow comes, will you still be here,
And will I need you any more?

Resentment is its own reward
Precious gifts are cast aside -
I care not, want not, take not, give not
And don't say that I have not tried.

Will you rescue me, and lift me up
Set my feet upon the shore?
When tomorrow comes, will you still be there
And will I need you any more?

Will you rescue me, and lift me up
And carry me through that door?
When tomorrow comes, you will still be here
But will I need you any more?
