What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I dreamt I saw a woman
2
Standing by the strand
3
Waiting for her people
4
To come in from the land
5
Waiting there for seven days
6
She built a fire in the sand
7
Waiting for her people
8
To come in from the land
9
She had the look of a refugee
10
Hiding in her eyes
11
And when I tried to talk to her
12
She answered with a cry
13
And pointed to the water
14
Out beyond the harbor line
15
Where a thousand ships lay waiting
16
They lay waiting for my sign
17
[Chorus]
18
I remember days of sunlight
19
With my father by my side
20
And the children, ran before us
21
Like the foam upon the tide
22
We ran like frightened partridge
23
When the strangers came to talk
24
Bringing sickness 'round them
25
And the thunder in their walk
26
We ran into the valleys
27
And we ran into the hills
28
They only ran before us,
29
Driven by the strangers' will
30
[Chorus]
31
I'm waiting by the land wash
32
Giant standing near
33
I see them coming always
34
Children in their fear
35
I'm waiting on my blanket
36
And the giant waits with me
37
And I will wait here always
38
As they fill the endless sea
