Jackie

[Verse 1] You were a teacher who wanted to be taught You took a chaser and finally got caught I lost the light of my life to the river, the cruel river's course And you rode away on that chestnut horse Jackie cradles your head again On a path through the clouds on the wings of your bed again [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere silent, free from violence Attended by angels, as you float 'tween the islands [Chorus] Oh, Jackie, can you hear me Wherever you are, on the wings of a star? Oh, Jackiе, is it lonely Like it is down herе, at the dawn of a new year If it ever comes? [Verse 2] My friend, cold and blue Jackie, baby, is that really you? She lost the light of her life to the needle Like cruel needles do Did your spirit sigh from its chrysalis skin And set sail on a little wind? Did you row those hidden canals of the sky Behind black velvet curtains? [Pre-Chorus] Lying silent, free from violence Attended by angels, as you float 'tween the islands [Chorus] Oh, Jackie, can you hear me Wherever you are, on the wings of a star? Oh, Jackie, is it lonely Like it is down here, at the dawn of a new year If it ever comes?
