Jenny so shy Jenny so shy So shy So shy Jenny Throw the knife into the stream Run away across the fields Leave me lying where I fell Rivers running out of me Meet my Jenny in the lane Take a car and run away Get as far as you can get Before the new day Your heart beats quick and strong Your mind pores over it all Don't worry because no one saw me fall Hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm Jenny so shy Sit inside a little chef Look around but not at her See my kisses on her lips See my fingers in her hair Think of this against your will See the knife edge slipping in See the questions in my eyes As I ask them I went so quick it makes you shudder that I'm gone Are we so brittle has your soul turned into stone And though you loved me I'm not Jenny in the night Jenny Some decisions don't thread back to being right Your head blurs quickly tonight Your edges diffuse in the light Don't tell me that your throat is getting tight Change your name and find a job Marry Jenny in the spring Buy a dog and call him Pete Push the children on the swings Think about me now and then Try to find a peaceful space Count the days as they go by Count the lines upon your face Your heart beats quick and strong Your mind pores over it all Don't worry because no one saw me fall Hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm
