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?
