This Time

Jenny came back in springtime,
This time, she said, for good,
But she left town before the leaves turned brown,
Just like I knew that she would.
You see it gets so heavy,
It gets pretty intense,
When a girl like that got a knife on your throat,
There ain't no room for pretence.

C'mon Jenny now,
C'mon girl,
Cut across the county line,
You and me gonna rule this world,
Gonna make it work this time.

Heard tell she was in Denmark,
Heard someone did her wrong,
What a mistake for a fool make,
I heard he didn't live too long.
And that sky's so pretty,
On those winter nights,
Dark rolling in like original sin,
Underneath the northern lights.

C'mon Jenny now,
C'mon girl,
Cut across the county line,
You and me gonna rule this world,
Gonna make it work this time.

She don't glow like a candle,
She don't burn like a torch,
She fly like a fireball out of the sky,
Get out of the way or get scorched.
Yet still I remember,
I can clearly recall,
The day that Jenny first came my way,
And I thought we could take it all.

C'mon Jenny now,
C'mon girl,
Cut across the county line,
You and me gonna rule this world,
Gonna make it work this time.

Gonna make it work this time.
