Lyrics
Oh, Janel
Martin Carpenter
Verse 1
When I look at your jewelry on the dresser
Or that tattered old flannel nightgown
I re-fall in love that same evening
With the ghost that follows you around
Verse 2
How you?re always adjusting those pillows
How you?re always rearranging your space
And even though I saw you this morning
I cannot remember your face
Chorus
I have taken you through hell
Tell me why, tell me why did you stay
Let?s go back to the point where we fell
Oh, Janel lets go and run away
Bridge:
It?s almost like an old photo album
When you see someone that?s long since died
You wish that you knew them better
And you wish like hell you would have tried
Chorus
Verse 3
It?s a sad diluted elation
When you realize there?s more yet to know
It?s a feeling that I understand completely
Every time you threaten to go
Chorus
Outro
Let?s go and run away?
