Jackie (Sinead O'connor Cover) lyrics

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

And I remember the day that the young man came

Said, "Your Jackie's gone heâs lost in the rain"

And I ran to the beach and laid me down

"Youâre 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

Till I find my Jackie oh

Jackie oh Jackie oh Jackie oh
