Jackie Sinéad OConnor cover

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
