Jamaica Say You Will

Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
Hiding from the children so they wouldn't tell
We would stay there 'til her sister rang the evening bell
Hmmm

Daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
She would stare across the water from the trees
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
Said the next time they would sail just where they pleased

Jamaica, say you will help me find
A way to fill these empty hours
Say you will
Come again tomorrow

Jamaica was the lovely one, I loved her true
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew
We had brought her things down to the bay
What could I do?

Jamaica, say that we'll find
A way to fill these lifeless sails
Say you will
You're my ship to find the sea, woah
(Oh, oh)

Jamaica, say you will (say you will)
Help me find (help me find)
A way to fill these lifeless sails
We will sail until
Our waters have run dry (oh)

Jamaica, say you will
Help me find the way you fill these empty sails
And then we'll sail until
Our waters have run dry
(Oh, Jamaica say)
