Jamie Lyrics

I went to a party just the other night

I saw a friend I hadn't seen in a long time

He was about as drunk as he was high

But in that state one tends to be real

Jamie starts to tell me how he really feels

Guess he's not got much hope left in this life

Well we talked of things that were in our past

But superficial conversation hardly ever lasts

He says there's just one more thing I need to ask

He says

Back in high school you always had that glow

And it's still with you now

I've got to know, what is it about you, girl

That I just can't seem to grasp

And I said Jamie, can't you see

What it is that makes me free

It's not the praise that I've received from deeds

But one thing I know

And I don't know many things

But this I know that his blood covers me

And he loves me

And he'll do the same for you, Jamie

Well I went to a party just the other night

I saw a girl l hadn't seen in a long time

I remember how I used to

Want to get into her mind

Well I was feeling pretty good

So I thought here's my chance

My questions posed

The conversation starts to get intense

She had an answer for my every line

And I said Baby, can't you see

It's not as simple as you'd like to think

I'm sure you've got to do more than just believe

But right now good is something I can't be

Maybe someday that will be for me

But right now I'm content with being me

Well I went to the garage to tell Jamie goodbye

They were sitting in a circle

They were all getting high

He gave me a hug and said thanks for stopping by

And he thinks that's the way it goes

You've gotta get high to just let it go

But I know

There's still hope for Jamie in this life

So I said Jamie, can't you see

What it is that makes me free

It's not the praise that I've received from deeds

But one thing I know

And I don't know many things

But this I know that his blood covers me

And he loves me, and he'll do the same for you

So I pray, my God hear me

I'm broken on my knees for this boy

The further he gets

The more of himself he destroys

But one thing I know

And I don't know many things

But this I know that your blood covers me

And you love me

And you do the same for all
