Jackie's Waiting

Jackie found a box of roses
In a bedroom dresser drawer
The pedals all dried out and mournin'
As if they remembered a life before

The colors were all but faded
Their life lost and hidden for years
Their beauty abandoned and wanin'
And fallin' like Jackie's own tears
And fallin' like Jackie's own tears

Ah
Ah

Jackie's been desperately waitin'
For a future that never arrived
Shе mourns for a loss so grievous
It's a miracle she еver survived

The miracle of walkin' on water
That so inspired her passions of youth
That a song could ever really save her
Was obviously not the whole truth
Was obviously not the whole truth

Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah

So what is left to revive her?
Are there songs that can bury her fears?
And who will sing that song now so fabled
That could lead her to new frontiers?
That could lead her to new frontiers

As Jackie now hides her sorrow
Enclosed in a prison so blue
She waits for a mornin' to wake her
For a sunrise that lifts to renew
For a sunrise that lifts to renew

Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah

But what will finally happen
If hope has been lost for too long
And her gift of love never taken
And the giver forgotten and wronged?
And the giver forgotten and wronged
