They haven't got their dog anymore
Sailing my way back to your lips
I just can't understand why you just moved to Finland
Can't seem to leave the sea anymore
Odessa, how strong am I?

And I'll see your face again
And I'll see your face again
One passing ship gave word that you have moved out of your old flat
Odessa, how strong am I?

You love that Vicar more then words can say
Captain Richardson left himself a lonely wife in Hull
Odessa, how time goes by
14th of February, 1899
Baa baa black sheep you haven't any wool
You love the Vicar more then words can say
Ask him to pray that I won't melt away
I'm on an iceberg running free
Tell him to pray that I won't melt away

Freezing, sailing around in the North Atlantic
Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic sea
Odessa, how time goes by
Treasure, you know the neighbors that live next door
