Jackie - Placebo

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
