- 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 Richardson
- left 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 that
- you have moved out of your old flat,
- you love the Vicar more than words can say.
- Tell him to pray
- that 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 neighbours 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 can't understand
- why you just moved to Finland.
- You love that Vicar more than words can say.
- Ask him to pray
- that I won't melt away and I'll see your face again.
-
- Odessa, how strong am I?
- Odessa, how time goes by.
-
- Oooh, ooooh....
- Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety-nine,
- the British ship Veronica was lost without a sign.
