Placebo

Jackie left on a cold dark night
telling me he'd be home
sailed the seas for hundred years
and left me all alone
Now I've been death for twenty years
I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears
searching the shore
for my Jackie oh.
Now I remember the day when the young man came
said: your Jackie's gone he lost in the rain
and I ran to the beach and laid me down.
You are 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
laugh 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.
I've been washing the sand with my salty tears
searching the shore for these long years
and I'll walk the seas forever more
till I find my Jackie oh
Jackie oh Jackie oh Jackie oh
