Odessa

Odessa (City On The Black Sea)

Lyrics

Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety nine
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign
Baa, baa, black sheep, you haven't any wool
Captain Richardson left himself a lonely wife in Hull

Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic Sea
I'm on an iceberg running free
Sitting, filing this berg to shape of a ship
Sailing my way back to your lips
One passing ship gave word that
You have moved out of your old flat
You love the Vicar more than words can say
Tell him to pray that I won't melt away
And I'll see your face again

Odessa, how strong am I?
Odessa, how time goes by...

Treasure, you know the neighbors that live next door
They haven't got their dog anymore
Freezing, sailing around the North Atlantic
Can't seem to leave the sea anymore
I just don't understand why you just moved to Finland
You love the Vicar more than words can say
Ask him to pray that I won't melt away
And I'll see your face again

Odessa, how strong am I?
Odessa, how time goes by...
