Jenny wore black
jenny wore white - WHITE!
and jenny was real
but almost not quite
and jenny was here
she was almost inside
and jenny was real
but jenny was frightened by the way
we looked at her
and jenny could see
she was only a child

The choruse contains some tasteful female backing vocals, and more cool harpsichord.
jenny concealed all but her smile
and when she smiled we said hey HEY!
you'll never see clear with tears in your face hey!
you'll never see clearly anyway
I said I loved you blindly, and I do
we're only two strangers in ways


The next verse is the same as the last. Take note of the cool voice agumentation on the “la la la”s

jenny wore black
jenny wore white, WHITE!
and jenny was real but almost not quite (la la la la la la)
and jenny was here she was almost on time
and jenny was real
but jenny was frightened by the way
we looked at her
and jenny could see within us for a while
jenny revealed all but her smile
and when she smiled we said hey HEY!
you'll never see clear with tears in your face hey!
you'll never see clearly anyway
I said I loved you blindly, and I do
we're only two strangers in ways
we should say

Finally we come to possibly my favorite part of this whole song. The bridge.
you always caught my eyes where
the dreams peter in
and I can't remember
wherever I've been
there's still holes for my eyes
where the dreams peter through
all I can remember
is when I was with you

Does this remind you of anything? Because to me it sounds like an allusion to the Beatles "Fixing a hole" And making musical allusions to the Beatles, is a really amazing feat, in my book.

The rest of the song pretty much continues like before. Another chorus then the end. Pretty much an amazing song.
