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      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      Jackie   Jackie   Jackie
