Sometimes You Just Know (feat. Dawn Flude & the Fludes)

My beloved Jack and I had finally settled down
When a call to arms came forth by order of the crown
He held me close and whispered
I'll be back before the snow
But I knew he was gone forever.
Sometimes you just know.
Sometimes you just know.

The battle it was brief but bitter, with much loss of life
For 18 months I pined and sorrowed
As a widowed wife
We never got to bury him, his body was not found
But his great ship was dashed to pieces, my poor Jacky drowned
And every night the pines do whisper a drear and mournful sound

Would to God it were my Jack
I'd kiss away his tears
And if I had to I would wait a hundred million years

One frigid night as I was praying, a sound did pierce my heart
My old mare took to wildly neighing
She gave me such a start
But then the horse's cries were stilled by a voice so low
My flintlock in my trembling hands, I ran into the snow

Get thee hence, ye thief, I cried
I warn you, I am armed
And there, by God, my Jacky stood
Living and unharmed

My darling love I was so certain, my poor heart did burn
That you had passed beyond Death's curtain, never to return
He said 'A foreign vessel plucked me from what would have been my grave
And sailed me round the world and back, a lowly galley slave.

But I dared break away one morn, to get back to your arms
And traversed half the world it seems
To our beloved farm

For I knew you were of my heart, and never would let go
Though we'd never spoken of it, sometimes you just know
I took him in and told all that happened with him gone
And introduced him to the son
He'd never looked upon
