Great Big Sea
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Set off for America far across the ragin' sea
2
From the frozen coves of my island home
3
To the land of liberty
4
I have to leave my girl behind
5
Until I make my way
6
Oh Molly dear please wait for me
7
I'll come back for you some day
8
We landed hard in Boston
9
And I'd never seen the like
10
A small boat boy from around the bay
11
In this sea of shining lights
12
Two days in I got a job
13
Building towers of high steel
14
I had to learn, to not look down
15
And I quickly learned to kneel
16
All I need is one good nights sleep
17
In your loving arms, to mend
18
We sleep to dream
19
And we dream to live
20
Will I live to love you again
21
I saved every cent I could
22
But the months turned into years
23
Then a letter came from Molly
24
And confirmed my deepest fears
25
She would no longer wait for me,
26
She'd found a better man
27
I might have been in America,
28
But my heart was broken
29
In Newfoundland
30
My working days are over now
31
And my children have all grown
32
I did the best with what I had
33
But some days I feel alone
34
I often wonder where you are
35
Do you still know my name
36
Deep inside this old man's heart
37
There's a love that still remains
