Jackie left on a cold, dark night
Telling me he'd be home
He sailed the sea 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 oooh
And 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
(Laid me down)
You're all wrong, I said
As they stared to the sand
That man knows the sea
Like the back of his hand
He'll be back sometime
Laughing at you
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 shores these long years
And I walked the sea forevermore
Till I find my Jackie oooh
Jackie oooh
Jackie oooh
Jackie ooo-oo-ooh
