You called me Jacky, I called you Edna
 
Sitting in the green arcade, laughing at the paper hats we've made
 
The white sea wall, the boarding house
 
Sitting round the table, your sister, mother, brother and little boy
 
Now I'm so lonely, just a picture of you
 
Stuck up in my bedroom, everywhere I go I think of you
 
Chorus: Why can't we go out darling like we did before?
 
Life should be ever open, ever open door
 
Now I'm so lonely, lost and all alone
 
They say you're married with children of your own.
 
Called me Jacky, I called you Edna
 
The white seagulls around, circle breaking, what a sound
 
The big arcade, the noise inside
 
Seen you drift down the peer, oh how your grey skirt glides
 
You know it"s right, it can't be wrong
 
Just two weeks, one summer, didn't last so very long
 
Chorus
 
Called me Jacky, I called you Edna
 
Now you're gone away, living somewhere, no-one will say
 
Not a line, a single card, sitting in this lonely room
 
Don't you know the times are hard
 
No work at all, no money too
 
Dreaming, dreaming dreams, lonesome dreams with tales of you
 
Chorus
