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 ive been dead for twenty years
been washing the sand
with my ghostly tears
searching the shores for my
jackie oooh

i remember the day
that the young man came
said jackies gone
he's lost in the rain
and i ran to the beach
(laid me down)

your all wrong, i said
as they stared to the sand,
that man knows the sea
like the back of his hand,
he'd return one day
Laughing at you

i've been searching the sand
all this time,
waiting for my man
to come place his hand in mine
and lead me away to unseen shores

i've been searching the shores
these long years
been washing the sand
with my salty tears
searching for my jackie oooh,

jackie oooh,
jackie oooh,
jackie ooo-oo-ooh
