Jackie lyrics

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 shores for my Jackie-oh And I remember the day that the young man came Said, your Jackie's gone, he is 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 some time Laughing at you And I've been waiting all this time For my man to come, take his hand in mine And lead me away To unsailed shores I've been washing the sand with my salty tears Searching the shore these long years And I'll walk the sea forever more 'til I find my Jackie-oh Jackie-oh Jackie-oh Jackie-oh
