Odessa (City On The Black Sea)

Lyrics for Odessa (City On The Black Sea)

14th of February 1899 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 the 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 in the North Atlantic Can't seem to leave the sea anymore I just don't understand, why you just moved to Finland You love that 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 14th of February 1899 The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign
