lirik lagu joanna newsom – jackrabbits
i was tired of being drunk.
my face cracked like a joke.
so i swung through here
like a brace of jackrabbits,
with their necks all broke.
i stumbled at the door with my boot,
and i knocked against the jamb.
and i scrabbled at your chest, like a mute,
with my fists of ham.
trying to tell you that i am
telling you i can–
i can
love you again;
love you again.
i’m squinting towards the east.
my faith makes me a dope.
but you can take my hand,
in the darkness, darling,
like a length of rope.
i shaped up overnight, you know,
the day after she died.
when i saw my heart,
and i’ll tell you, darling,
it was open wide.
what with telling you i am
telling you i can–
i can
love you again;
love you again.
it can have no bounds, you know.
it can have no end.
you can take my hand
in the darkness, darling,
when you need a friend.
and it can change in shape or form,
but never change in size.
well the water, it ran deep, my darling,
where it don’t run wide.
the feather of a hawk was bound,
bound around my neck;
a poultice made of fig,
the eager little vultures pecked.
and a verse i read in jest
in matthew, spoke to me;
said there’s a flame that moves
like a low-down pest
and says, you will be free
only, tell me that i can
tell me that i can:
i can love you again;
love you again.
