Drag City - Jackrabbits lyrics

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 tell you, darling It was open wide What with telling you I am Telling I can I can love you again Love you again And it can have no bounds, you know It can have no end But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling When you need a friend And it can change in shape and form But never change in size Well, the water, it runs 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 peck And the verse I read in jest And Matthew spoke to me Said, there's a flame that moves like a low-down pest That says, "you will be free" Only tell me that I can Tell me that I can I can love you again Love you again Love you again Love you
