Jackie`s House

 

Jackie`s House Lyrics

(Chapin Hartford)

I`ve put a little love note in a bottle
Thrown it off the Bay Street Bridge
Watch it glide along among the willows
And 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
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 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 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 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 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
