Great Big Sea - Demesduit 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
  • The young ran before us driven by the strangers' will
  • CHORUS
  • I'm waiting by the landwash with the giant standing near
  • I see them coming always, the cChildren 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
  • repeat
