"Rochester's Song" by Trevor Downs-Robertson. Lyrics adapted by Destry Downs-Robertson from Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre.

I used to be heart-weary and soul-withered
My hidden life, a secret bane too bleak to ever tell
For ten long years I roved about in darkness
Then you brought me into the light and all was well

You Fairy Sprite, scared my horse in the night / And I leaned upon your shoulder
You brought me along, said your people were gone / And I saw in you my life

Stay your weary little wandering feet at a friend’s old threshold here
A string under my left ribs is knotted to one in you
If you leave, this string will snap and I will bleed
So stay with me, Jane! Jane! Jane!

You brought me back to life with a vengeance
My wild woe, my frantic prayer was nothing to you then
You rescued me from out the fire-y fingers
And you took my hand and said that we were friends

I wanted your heart, so I feigned from the start / And I said I loved another
I made you believe, until you tried to leave / Then I offered my hand and my heart

Stay your weary little wandering feet at a friend’s old threshold here
A string under my left ribs is knotted to one in you
If you leave, this string will snap and I will bleed
So stay with me, Jane! Jane! Jane!

You know I never meant to ever wound you
My hidden life, a secret bane too bleak to ever tell
I hid her from you only to protect you
Forgive me this small breach and all is well

“No,” you replied, and I started to cry / You looked so frail and determined
“I am going” you said, all persuasion fell dead / And you left me in the night

Stay your weary little wandering feet at a friend’s old threshold here
A string under my left ribs is knotted to one in you
If you leave, this string will snap and I will bleed
So stay with me, Jane! Jane! Jane!
