Joanna Newsom - Jackrabbits

I was tired o' 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

I`d have loved it more if she would have kept it soft until the end. The last part kinda ruined it for me. But I still think is a very beautiful song

I agree.. this is perfect. Almost impossible to listen to just once. Nardwuar's radio show introduced me to this beautiful soul.

I love you in the best way. You'll never know. Its unapologetic, its desecration, I love you, I can't be honest with the style of my words, I wish I knew how to say what I thought of you, the world is so small your a bettle that eats ants and whasps and thats a simple way to say i don't care i love you anyway so... continue '

Such a gorgeous song. I love the chord change as she repeats "love you again." It sounds out of place, but also perfect. Like a huge exclamation point, propelling the phrase into this almost frightening mix of desperation and..absurdity? just chilling and excellent

Is it possible to start crying within the first two seconds of a song? I can't even begin to explain how magical her music is to me.
