I put my voice in a jar
It’s not likely you’ll hear it from where you are
I tightened the lid
I keep it well hid
Under ground and in the dark
And these blue eyes of mine
You’ll see they’re easy to hide
In a matchbox or two
They blink and dream of you
While they go out to sea on the tide
Oh, these lips
They’ll only kiss
The ink that you’ve left on this page
In an envelope bound for nowhere
They cope, knowing the secret was saved
But my heart That’s the harder part
Not so easily contained
To put a ship in a bottle
You have to dismantle If you hope to assemble the same
And pieces can go missing
Yeah, sometimes, pieces go missing

Christa and I go way back, it's true. She sings truer than any and with the vulnerability in joy and sorrow that will charm you in your secret places. Jess Hill
