"Jack Rabbit Hill" lyrics

Search for the boy with the mark on his arm
Across the Black Bridge to the young man who tends his family's farm
Why don't you shake it off?
You can shake it off

The flush of your face turns the snow into rain
So warm with the love and the reasons you came
Why don't you take it off?
Your dirty pants and your brand new cotton socks

I go back there sometimes
To where my wish begins
But someone in this room distilled the gin
And I watched as she danced with him

She sang it free from the side of the hill
A maiden and her banjo
She sang me a song
And she kept me still

Sharing stories and cherries that made it through the early morning frost
But you know this will end come late July
Jack Rabbit Hill
My oh my
Did we do morning right

I was scared to love
I'm still scared to love
Wash me in this river
Until I'm clean enough

I go back there sometimes
To where my wish begins
But someone in this room distilled the gin
And I watched as she danced with him

I search for the boy in the light of the moon
Your lips taste like peaches
Then you tell me with a kiss that you love me too
Did he come to the Trading Post?
Did I leave too soon?
She sang a song that shook and empty room

And only one thing left to do
Learn how to kiss him like I'm kissing you
Someone in this room picked the fruit
Made brandy out of apple juice

And I go back there sometimes
Something draws me in
But someone in this room distilled the gin
And I watched as she danced with him
