He used to walk with jessica   Down to the diner   They'd sit and talk for hours   About nothin' in particular   Just bullshit the time away   That's what she used to say   She'd wrinkle her nose when she said it   That's how you know she meant it   Jessica   Jessica      She'd 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   They'd 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:   She's 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 can't see it with her   Jessica   Jessica      He could easily have been with her   Driving home in the car   It was her birthday   It's 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      It's amazing how a soul can leave   Suddenly from a body   Rendering it useless   And stealing it's 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 you'd understand why   You never got to say goodbye   To jessica   There's no such word as goodbye   For jessica   She's always standing by   Jessica      Transcribed by james reach
