Odessa
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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 then 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 neighbours 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 can't understand
Why you just moved to Finland
You love that Vicar more then 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
Oooh, ooooh
Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety-nine
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign
