Great Big Sea Miscellaneous Demasduit's Dream 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 repeat |
