Odessa (City on the Black Sea) Lyrics
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 then 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 neighbors 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 then 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.

No one commented on the awesomeness of this song? This is probably one of the Bee Gee's most overlooked albums (self titled).
It's about a man who is longing for his wife (Odessa), and he is lost at sea. Kind of reminiscent of Bowie's Space Oddity or the Bee Gees New York Mining Disaster. What's worse, his wife left him for someone else (the vicar). Pretty sad! And I absolutely love the instrumentals and Robin's voice.
Amazing. This is the Bee Gees answer to the Beatles 'White Album'
Appreciate the insight,but are you going to go through all of the Bee Gees? Or the all of seventies?(I'm joking).

This song is absolutely amazing.
It IS an awesome song! I love the orchestra arrangement. I think it would be powerful to remaster that part and dedicate to Ukrainian people. They are hurting and deserve our support!
