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
Now 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
And laid me down
You're all wrong, I said
As they stared to the sun
That man knows that sea like the back of his hand
He'll be back some time
Laughing at you
Well 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 sea forever more
Till I find my Jackie, oh
Jackie, oh
Jackie, oh
Jackie, oh
