Jackrabbits

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Trying to tell you that I am
Telling you I can
I can love you again
Love you again

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
What with telling you I am
Telling you I can
I can love you again
Love you again

[Verse 5]
And 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

[Verse 6]
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

[Verse 7]
The feather of a hawk was bound
Bound around my neck
A poultice made of fig
The eager little vultures pecked

[Verse 8]
And a verse I read in jest
In Matthew, spoke to me
Said there's a flame that moves like a low-down pest
That says you will be free

[Chorus]
Only, tell me that I can
Tell me that I can
I can love you again
Love you again

[Refrain]
Love you again, love you again
Love you again, love you again
Love you again, love you again
Love you again, love you again
Love you again, love you
