The big man came and took the sun away   And replaced it with one of his own   There was no room for sharing   Just nurse and care for him   Fill his shoes with concrete and stone      Oh Jacqueline, Jacqueline   Things are getting harder   There's only now 'til the end   And nothing in-between      Keep his children from his door   Protect the one that you waited for   You can't breathe   When his eyes aren't on you      Though you may feel the bite of his tongue   The back of his hands, you're not the only one   And it's his and he alone   Will do      Oh Jacqueline, Jacqueline   Things are getting harder   There's only now 'til the end   And nothing in-between      [oohs]      And when you wake   You wake to the same day   The one where your Mediterranean sky turned gray   And you withdrew into the shadow of you      And while asleep   You lose his name   And the footsteps of one defiantly sound the same   So you bolted the bathroom door and flew      Oh Jacqueline, Jacqueline   Things can't get much harder   Only now it's the end
