Jessica — текст песни (Jewel)

He used to walk with jessica

Down to the diner

Theyd sit and talk for hours

About nothin in particular

Just bullshit the time away

Thats what she used to say

Shed wrinkle her nose when she said it

Thats how you know she meant it

Jessica

Jessica



Shed call him at nine a.m.

To see how sleep had been treatin him

And though they were never lovers

They were soulmates under cover

Theyd drink beer and sit around

Or just sit still and not make a sound

And he would shudder to think

Of what life would be like

Without his best friend -slash- shrink

Jessica



Bridge:

Shes an angel at his table

Forced to feel but not to see

Blinded by her absence

Haunted by her memory

If only you were able to see the angel at your table



He got a phone call

From her mother

He said, "yeah, right stop kidding around."

He felt his heart fall to the ground

Since then everyday

Seems to feel like winter

Everything is colorless

As he cant see it with her

Jessica

Jessica



He could easily have been with her

Driving home in the car

It was her birthday

Its sick how things work out that way

Now at night when he sleeps

A watch over him she keeps

She whispers in his ear

For his heart to hear

Jessica

Jessica



Its amazing how a soul can leave

Suddenly from a body

Rendering it useless

And stealing its desire to breathe

One moment here then gone

With no forwarding address

Love no longer has a house

Residence in flesh

Religion without a temple

No place to take your worship to

No God for the eyes to see

No fruit to lay at the feet

Of jessica

Jessica



If only you were able to see

The angel at your table

Then youd understand why

You never got to say goodbye

To jessica

Theres no such word as goodbye

For jessica

Shes always standing by

Jessica
