Mason Jennings - Jackson Square Lyrics

Send "Jackson Square" ringtone to your cell

Dustcloud comin' off an old dirt road

It leads up here to this little graveyard

Seven mats in a perfect row

Under each slab is a police car

Just because you say it doesn't make it true

You can say that i'm guilty man i just don't care

You can burn my body black

Just don't make me go back to jackson square

I met you on decatur street

With your little bare feet and your violin

I was walkin' by with my guitar in my hand

You smiled at me and i jumped right in

Before i knew it you were all i knew

Every moment together was an answered prayer

After awhile we had some money saved up

And we rented a room over jackson square

And one day everything changed

Your eyes got strange you didn't seem yourself

You go to tell a story and you'd start out fine

Halfway through it you'd be somewhere else

And i started having the strangest dream

I held a string and looked up in the air

And you were glowing with the strangest light

Drifting out of sight over jackson square

Life is something that you can't control

When you try to hold onto it it makes you let go

Things are live like they were before

I can hear her crying through the bathroom door

She says she hears spirits all around the room

And they're telling her things that make her feel scared

I have no idea what to do

Were both in over heads on jackson square

I woke up with the weight on my chest

People were screaming on the street below

I reached for you i was alone in the bed

Wind was blowing through an open window

And suddenly i was very old in a little boat absolutely nowhere

Staring at the sight of the universe

And your tiny body down on jackson square

And don't tell me that there ain't no end

There damn well is and it waits in the wings

I see ya kneeling that center stage

In your tiny cage made of angel wings

But i'm here every night

Loading my gun and trying not to go there

Anyone who says that life is clear

Has never seen a mirror or been to jackson square

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah
