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
he got lost in the rain
and I ran to the beach
and laid me down
You're all wrong I said
and they stared
at the sand
That man knows that 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 unseen shores
I've been washing
the sand with my
salty tears
Searching the shore
these long years
and I'll walk the seas
forever more
'til I find my Jackie oh
'til I find my Jackie oh
'til I find my Jackie oh
Jackie ooh
Jackie ooh
