1
Dust cloud coming off an old dirt road
2
That leads up here to this little graveyard
3
Seven lights in a perfect row
4
Under each light is a police car
5
Just because you say it doesn't make it true
6
You can say that I'm guilty man I just don't care
7
You can burn my body black
8
Just don't make me go back to Jackson Square
9
I met you on Decatur Street
10
With your little bare feet and your violin
11
I was walking by with my guitar in my hand
12
You smiled at me and I jumped right in
13
Before I knew it you were all I knew
14
Every moment together was an answered prayer
15
After a while we had some money saved up
16
And we rented a room over Jackson Square
17
Then one day everything changed
18
Your eyes got strange, you didn't seem yourself
19
You'd go to tell a story and you'd start out fine
20
Halfway through it you'd be somewhere else
21
And I started having the strangest dream
22
I held a string and looked up in the air
23
And you were glowing with the strangest light
24
Drifting out of sight over Jackson Square
25
Life is something that you can't control
26
When you try to hold onto it, it makes you let go
27
Things are not like they were before
28
I can hear her crying through the bathroom door
29
She says, she hears spirits all around the room
30
And they're telling her things that make her feel scared
31
I have no idea what to do
32
Before we're in over our heads in Jackson Square
33
I woke up with a weight on my chest
34
People were screaming on the street below
35
I reached for you, I was alone in the bed
36
Wind was blowing through an open window
37
Suddenly I was very old
38
In a little boat, absolutely nowhere
39
Staring at the side of the universe
40
And your tiny body down on Jackson Square
41
Now don't tell me that there ain't no end
42
There damn well is and it waits in the wings
43
I see you kneeling there at center stage
44
In your tiny cage made of angel wings
45
While I'm here every night
46
Loading my gun and trying not to go there
47
Anyone who says that life is clear
48
Has never seen a mirror or been to Jackson Square
49
Yeah, yeah, yeah
