Janie Gillespie

Janie Gillespie, she lit the match, caught her reflection in the shiny brass of the latch

She opened the door, she opened her heart, and there was Tommy, he was looking for a new start … (yes he was)

She was a wee bit overwhelmed, how could this man cast such a spell?

She'd been waiting for Tommy, forever it seems, his journey was a wild and simple dream

Gone for a merchant, gone for too long, I'm singing the news, it's a long lost love song

He brought toys from Tibet, Chince from Chengdu, Tommy knew he has some making up to do

He didn't come with empty hands, no he brought perfumes oér from France

Tommy knew Janie was a wonderful catch, but Janie's dad said 'nix' to the match …

Tommy was talking, he had so much to say, he led her on in the usual kind of way
