[Lyric] Jackalope Waltz (Matt Heckler)

My oar breaks the water. We glide through the darkness
She fills the night with her song
My heart won't let go as we slide onto shore
She whispers, "I won't be long."

I'll be here in the springtime
When the frost still lines the air
Be gentle with yourself dear
Because you're on your own from here

Now into the fog goes my own, one true love
And down a road unseen
I push off from land an oar in еach hand
And the river, she rocks mе to sleep

And I dream of the springtime
When the poppies just start to bloom
I look to the west, dear
And hope to see you soon

But I wake in the night and I'm taking on water
I don't have the will to bail
Its sink or its swim. Its lose or its win
When you're gone the trade winds wail
So come home in the springtime
When the Laurel floods the road
We'll count down through the days dear
'Til once again you'll go
