Jamaica Say You Will lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jamaica was a lovely one, I played her well
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
We would stay there 'til her sister rang the evening bell

[Verse 2]
The 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
And said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased

[Chorus]
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
Say you will come again tomorrow

[Verse 3]
Jamaica was a lively 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?

[Chorus]
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
Say you will find my ships upon the sea
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Jamaica, say you will (Say you will)
Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails (Help me find a way)
Show my sails the water (Our waters have run dry)

[Outro]
(Jamaica, say you will)
(Help me find a way to fill these empty sails)
(And we will sail until our waters have run dry)
(Jamaica, say you will)
