Jackie

Jackie left on a cold, dark night
Telling me he'd be home
Sailed the seas for a hundred years
Leaving me all alone

And I've been dead for twenty years
I've been washing the sand
With my ghostly tears
Searching the shores for my
Jackie oh

I remember the day
the young man came
said your Jackie's gone
We got lost in the rain
And I ran to the beach
(and laid me down)

You're all wrong, I said
and 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
Take his hand in mine
and lead me away
to unseen shores

I've been washing the sand
With my salty tears
Searching the shore
For these long years
And I'll walk the seas forever more
Till I find my Jackie oooh
Till I find my Jackie oooh
Till I find my Jackie oooh
Jackie oooh
Jackie oooh
Jackie oooh
