Jackie`s House Lyrics

Jackie`s House lyrics

=============================================================================

 

 I'd put a little love note in a bottle throw it off the Bay Street Bridge

 Watch it glide along among the willows

 I'd run along the bank with the other kids

 If that bottle didn't hang up on the stones

 It would ride that river with a will of its own

 It'd go underground and come up in the creek behind

 

 Jackie's house, Jackie's house

 I'd hang around until Jackie came out

 My hands would shake my heart would ache

 I didn't know what it was but I first felt love

 Behind Jackie's house

 

 You could hear a pin drop in that parlor it was horsehair chairs and old
lace

 Jackie sat beside me like a statue

 The other kids were out playing kids' games

 Those funny feelings strange and unknown

 They would rise like the river with a will of their own

 With the risk I took when I first stole a look into

 

 Jackie's eyes, Jackie's eyes

 I saw forever like an endless sky

 My hands would shake my heart would ache

 I didn't know what it was but I first saw love

 Behind Jackie's eyes

 

 After all this time Jackie's heart's still mine

 And the love keeps on flowing behind Jackie's house, oh...

 Now our little ones they laugh and run down by the creek in the summer sun

 Jackie and me and the years agree

 We know what it is, it's love and it lives here

 In Jackie's house oh and in Jackie's eyes

 Oh in Jackie's heart and mine
