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 salted tears

Searching the shore these long years

And I'll walk the sea forever more

Till I find my Jackie oh

Till I find my Jackie oh

Till I find my Jackie oh

Jackie oh

Jackie oh

Jackie oh
