Little House on the Prairie? Maybe not so little and maybe not on the prairie. It’s Cortiços, Trás-os-Montes – Portugal.

Jackie left on a cold, dark night
Telling me he’d be home,
He sailed the sea for a hundred years
And left me all alone

And I remember the day
That the young man came
He said “Your Jackie’s gone
He’s lost in the rain”
And I ran to the beach
And laid me down

“You’re all wrong”, I said
As they stared to the sand,
“That man knows the seas
Like the back of his hand,
He’ll be back sometime
Laughing at you”

I’ve been waiting all this time,
For my man to come
Take his hand in mine
And lead me away to unseen shores

I’ve been washing the sand
With my salty tears
Searching the shores these long years
And I walked the sea forevermore
‘Till I find my Jackie oooh

Time slips away
And the light begins to fade
And everything is quiet now
Feeling is gone
And the picture disappears
And everything is cold now
The dream had to end
The wish never came true
And the girl
Starts to sing

Seventeen seconds
A measure of life

Let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away

London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
