Jackie's House

I´d put a liittle love note in a bottle throw it off the Bay Street

Bridge

Watch it glide along 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 crecek 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 is was but I first felt love

Behind Jackie´s house

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

lace

Jackie sat beside me like a statue

The other kids were out playing kids´games

Those funny feelings strage 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 is 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´s 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
