I´d put a liittle love note in a bottle throw it off the Bay Street Bridge Watch it glide along the willows I´d run along the bank with the other kids If that bottle didn´t hang up on the stones It would ride that river with a will of its own It´d go underground and come up in the crecek behind
Jackie´s house, Jackie´s house I´d hang around until Jackie came out My hands would shake my heart would ache I didn´t know what is was but I first felt love Behind Jackie´s house
You could hear a pin drop in that parlor it was horsechair chairs and old lace Jackie sat beside me like a statue The other kids were out playing kids´games
Those funny feelings strage and unknown They would rise like the river with a will of their own With the risk I took when I first stole a look into
Jackie´s eyes, Jackie´s eyes I saw forever like an endless sky My hands would shake my heart would ache I didn´t know what is was but I first saw love Behind Jackie´s eyes
After all this time Jackie´s heart´s still mine And the love keeps on flowing behind Jackie´s house, oh ... Now our little ones they laugh and run down by the creek in the summer sun Jackie´s and me and the years agree We know what it is, it´s love and it lives here In Jackie´s house oh and in Jackie´s eyes Oh in Jackie´s heart and mine
