Jackson Browne - Jamaica Say You Will lyrics

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´d not tell
We´d stay there ´until her sister rang the evening bell

Jamaica, say you´ll
Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
Say you´ll come again tomorrow

The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
She´d stare across the water from the trees
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
And said the next time they´d sail away just where they pleased

Jamaica, say you´ll
Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
And stay till my ships can find the sea

Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true
She was a comfort & a mercy through & 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 you´ll
Help me find a way to fill these sails
And we´ll sail till our waters have run dry
