Odessa (City On the Black Sea)
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 Richardsonleft 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 thatyou have moved out of your old flat,you love the Vicar more than words can say.Tell him to praythat 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 understandwhy you just moved to Finland.You love that Vicar more than words can say.Ask him to praythat I won't melt away and I'll see your face again.
Odessa, how strong am I?Odessa, how time goes by.
Oh, oh...Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety-nine,the British ship Veronica was lost without a sign.
