Cover art for Jackie lyrics by Sinead O'Connor

I love a good ghost story, and this one is amazing. Obviously, you can read past the story and interpret this as pure grieving, longing for someone who's never coming back ... you can neither let go nor move on.

As a side note, I heard a clip of this song performed live, just Sinead & her guitar. It's every bit as powerful live as it is on record.
