Lyrics

[00:00.50] Jamaica Say You Will- Jackson Browne
[00:13.82] Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well
[00:20.06] As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
[00:24.49]
[00:27.68] Hiding from the children so they would not tell
[00:31.61]
[00:33.04] We would stay there 'till her sister rang the evening bell
[00:38.34]
[00:39.10] Jamaica, say you will
[00:43.53]
[00:44.65] Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
[00:54.63] Say you will come again tomorrow
[01:00.93]
[01:03.12] The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
[01:07.55]
[01:09.42] She would stare across the water from the trees
[01:13.67]
[01:15.91] Last time he was home he held her on his knees
[01:21.53]
[01:22.52] And said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased
[01:28.33]
[01:28.89] Jamaica, say you will
[01:33.26]
[01:34.07] Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
[01:42.83] And stay until my ships can find the sea
[01:51.07]
[02:15.17] Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true
[02:21.60] She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
[02:28.16] Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew
[02:33.83]
[02:35.02] We had brought her things down to the bay -- what could I do
[02:40.45]
[02:41.13] Jamaica, say you will
[02:45.94]
[02:46.75] Help me find a way to fill these sails
[02:54.36] And we will sail until our waters have run dry
