Featuring: Sally Ann Triplett
Songwriter: Sting
Peggy White:
You promised me, my Jackie
On the day that we were married
You'd built a boat of dreams for me someday
A vague romantic notion
That we'd sail off to some ocean
But in my dreams we'd get there one fine day
You haven't been the same since the yard closed down
Like all the other men in this broken town
Well ye'd end up by the river as your thoughts turn black
I said pull yourself togethеr pet, and come home Jack
Whеnever we had sorrow
We'd always say tomorrow
We'd catch that ship of dreams and sail away
Whenever we had sorrow
We'd always say tomorrow
We'd catch that ship of dreams and sail away
