Jackie (Sinead O’ Connor)
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
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
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 heβs lost in the rain
And I ran to the beach and laid me down
Youβre all wrong'' I said, as they stared to the sun
''That man know that sea like the back of his hand,
He'll be back sometime laughing at you''
Said, Your Jackie's gone heβs lost in the rain
And I ran to the beach and laid me down
Youβre all wrong'' I said, as they stared to the sun
''That man know that sea like the back of his hand,
He'll be back sometime 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
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
Jackie oh Jackie oh Jackie oh
