Jackrabbits Lyrics - Have One On Me - Joanna Newsom

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.
