(written by Bob Hallett)
2
I dreamt I saw a woman standing by the strand,
3
Waiting for her people to come in from the land.
4
Waiting there for seven days, she built a fire in the sand
5
Waiting for her people to come in from the land.
6
She had the look of a refugee hiding in her eyes
7
And when I tried to talk to her she answered with a cry
8
And pointed to the water out beyond the harbour line
9
Where a thousand ships lay waiting, they lay waiting for my sign.
10
CHORUS:
11
I remember days of sunlight
12
With my father by my side
13
And the children, ran before us
14
Like the foam upon the tide
15
We ran like frightened partridge, when the strangers came to talk
16
Bringing sickness 'round them and the thunder in their walk
17
We ran into the valleys and we ran into the hills
18
The young ran before us driven by the strangers' will
19
CHORUS
20
I'm waiting by the landwash with the giant standing near
21
I see them coming always, the cChildren in their fear
22
I'm waiting on my blanket and the giant waits with me
23
And I will wait here always as they fill the endless sea
24
CHORUS
25
repeat
