With just a suitcase in my hand,
G Cm

I've met the blessed, I've met the damned.

In the air, at sea, on land,
Eb Gm Cm F
Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl,
G Cm
I love you, you understand.

So, reel me in, my precious girl,

Come on, take me home.

A Dm
For you have vanished too.

It does not wash up on a shore.
