Jackie left on a cold, dark night
|
Telling me he'd be home,
|
Sailed the seas for a hundred years
|
and left me all alone.
|
|
Now I've been dead for twenty years
|
I've been washing the sand
|
with my ghostly tears
|
Searching the shore for my
|
Jackie oh
|
|
And I remember the day
|
that the young man came
|
said your Jackie's gone
|
he's lost in the rain
|
And I ran to the beach
|
(laid me down)
|
|
You're all wrong, I said
|
as they stared to the sand,
|
That man knows the sea
|
like the back of his hand,
|
He'll be back sometime
|
Laughing at you
|
|
Now I've been waiting all this time,
|
For my man to come
|
Lay his hand in mine
|
and lead me away to unseen shores
|
|
I've been washing the sand
|
with my salty tears
|
Searching the shore these long years
|
and I walk the sea forevermore
|
Till I find my Jackie oh
|
|
Jackie oooh,
|
Jackie oooh,
|
Jackie oooh,
|
Oh
|
|
