Jackie Lyrics - Lion & The Cobra - Sinead Oconnor

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 

He said, "your Jackie's gone 

We 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
