Demasduit Dream – Great Big SeaBy I dreamt I saw a womanStanding by the strandWaiting for her peopleTo come in from the landWaiting there for seven daysShe built a fire in the sandWaiting for her peopleTo come in from the landShe had the look of a refugeeHiding in her eyesAnd when I tried to talk to herShe answered with a cryAnd pointed to the waterOut beyond the harbour lineWhere a thousand ships lay waitingThey lay waiting for my sign[Chorus]I remember days of sunlightWith my father by my sideAnd the children, ran before usLike the foam upon the tideWe ran like frightened partridgeWhen the strangers came to talkBringing sickness ’round themAnd the thunder in their walkWe ran into the valleysAnd we ran into the hillsThey only ran before us,Driven by the strangers’ will[Chorus]I’m waiting by the landwashGiant standing nearI see them coming alwaysChildren in their fearI’m waiting on my blanketAnd the giant waits with meAnd I will wait here alwaysAs they fill the endless sea[Chorus x2] www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
