Great Big Sea - Demasduit Dream Lyrics

Font:

Align:

I dreamt I saw a woman

Standing by the strand

Waiting for her people

To come in from the land

Waiting there for seven days

She built a fire in the sand

Waiting for her people

To come in from the land

She had the look of a refugee

Hiding in her eyes

And when I tried to talk to her

She answered with a cry

And pointed to the water

Out beyond the harbour line

Where a thousand ships lay waiting

They lay waiting for my sign

[Chorus]

I remember days of sunlight

With my father by my side

And the children, ran before us

Like the foam upon the tide

We ran like frightened partridge

When the strangers came to talk

Bringing sickness 'round them

And the thunder in their walk

We ran into the valleys

And we ran into the hills

They only ran before us,

Driven by the strangers' will

[Chorus]

I'm waiting by the landwash

Giant standing near

I see them coming always

Children in their fear

I'm waiting on my blanket

And the giant waits with me

And I will wait here always

As they fill the endless sea

[Chorus x2]
